Question: Is my Apartment too small for my kitty?
Answer: The Rest of Your Question: I have a new kitty (5 months old) and she is the most wonderful pet I have ever owned. I have NO complaints at all. But I do have one question: I live in a fairly small one bedroom apartment (about 910 square feet) and I am afraid that it is too small for her. I want her to be an indoor cat ONLY.
Will she be OK in this size place for a while? Will she be too bored? I feel so guilty that it is a small place and wonder if she is pained by not having a ton of roaming space.
This place won't be forever, but in the meantime, is she OK living here and will she be happy? I play with her A LOT.
Kia will do just fine in your small apartment. Cats are not like dogs, who sometimes need large yards for exercise. Give her plenty of interactive toys to play with when you're not home-- wand-type toys, those mobiles you can hang from a doorway, and of course, stuffed mice to chase. If you can manage it, a "window seat" where she can look outdoors would be nice.
The size of her surroundings really isn't important, since she has such a loving "mommy".
