One of the biggest factors when taking on a pet is time. Do you have time each day to spend with a cat? Contrary to popular belief, cats aren't solitary, aloof creatures. They are social animals and will be very unhappy if left alone all the time. It is recommended that you be able to spend at least fifteen minutes each day playing with your cat. Not only will you have a happier pet, you will be able to fully enjoy the benefits of being a pet owner. After all, what's the point of having a cat if you're never around to enjoy their company? Of course, you'll also need time to perform cat care chores such as cleaning the litter box regularly.
