Will a cat need a lot of my time?

You've got to assess your own lifestyle. Do you want a cat that's very engaging? Do you want a cat that is mellow? That helps a lot when you make your decision. As far as time investments, the nice thing about cats is they tend to have short attention spans. So we're not talking an hour solid of interaction with your cat, but maybe five or ten minutes of one on one time a few times during the day. When you wake up, before you go work and in the evening. That does a lot for the cat. They just need to know that they are part of the family, and don't make great demands on your time.
