Is it worth keeping a cat?
Owning a cat can bring unconditional love and companionship to your life. Having a feline friend can also help to relieve stress and improve your heart health. Owning a cat can be an extremely rewarding relationship. Any cat owner will tell you just how much their furry friend helps them to relax and unwind.
Will my cat remember me when I leave for college?
No, they won’t forget you. They’ll remember you, don’t worry. The cats that my family had when I went away to college remembered me each time I came home. I think it’s a myth that animals forget people if they haven’t seen them in a while.
Should you get a cat as a college student?
One of the perks of being a college student is continually being met with opportunities for mobilization and personal growth. Fortunately, adding a cat into the mix won’t completely screw up your day-to-day plans. Cats don’t need to be taken out several times per day like dogs do and they find ways to amuse themselves while you’re away.
Are cats allowed as pets in college dorms?
I can’t stress enough that when you adopt a cat (or any animal), it’s for life. They are not disposable. In our search for colleges for my daughter, we’re finding that in most dorm situations, students aren’t allowed to have cats as pets.
Should students who live at home adopt cats?
Students who still live at home and attend college may have a similar set-up. I think that in order to take on the responsibility of a cat, a student — like anyone considering cat adoption — should fully consider every aspect of their lives.
Is it OK to leave a cat alone for a day?
Cats don’t need to be taken out several times per day like dogs do and they find ways to amuse themselves while you’re away. It is never okay to leave your cat completely alone for more than a full day, though, because they still need to be fed twice per day and their litter box still needs to be scooped at least once per day.
