Okay so I'm a vet student. I'm usually away for 7 hours a day. I know this seems a little silly cuz of my background but I've only ever owned dogs and fish but I'd like to hear from people who own cats. I'm thinking of adopting an adult kitty and keeping it indoors. I am extremely busy even when I'm home but resources aren't a big problem and I can do basic cat care and spend a good amount of time cuddling/playing and stuff (depending on its personality lolol). I know they're more independent and getting stuff for them to do and enrichment helps but is it a good idea? I've wanted a cat forever and since i live away from fam, it'd genuinely help me out emotionally. I've always felt that they'd be better off at home than at the shelter but I'm scared I won't be the pet parent they deserve. What do you guys think?
Edit: guys I'm so sorry I hadn't read through before I posted. I noticed now that an entire paragraph is missing but the thing is
- I can't get two cats cuz I do fly home twice a year for about 3 weeks each and airline restrictions in my country allow one pet to fly per person
- Yes housing might be a problem especially when I'll be a full time intern when I'll have to move around quite a bit(which is about a year long) but after that it'll all be good. This is the main reason I'm hesitant
