Many families would enjoy having a pet, but because they are so busy, they may feel like a pet is out of the question. In many cases, cats make the perfect pet for busy families!

Cats do not need as much attention as dogs do. They do not need to be taken outside multiple times a day, and although they enjoy human company, they don’t crave it like dogs do either. You can also leave a cat alone for hours at a time without worrying too much about what’s going on inside your house while you’re away.

Busy families can benefit from delineating chores. Have one family member be responsible for food and water. Another can be responsible for cleaning the cat box. One family member can even be assigned play duty!
