Hi,
A bit of background, I've recently bought a new home and have been thinking about getting a cat, I've done plenty of research and come to the conclusion that a spynx would be a really good match. They're not a cat I would have previously considered but the more I learn about them the more I think they'd be a really good fit, I also appreciate they need a lot more hands on care than some of the more low maintenance breeds and am fully prepared for all of that.
My one concern is whether it would be better to get one or two, that may sound flippant but I'm thinking about it from the cats' perspective. I work from home so the cat would rarely be on its own, however, there are times when I need to go. into the office work or, you know, see friends, so realistically there will be times when the cat may have to be alone for 8 hours or so, though they would be relatively few and far between. I have interactive toys/cat trees set up but I also appreciate Sphynx are very bright and very sensitive cats and don't like the idea of one getting upset or anxious on the rare times I am away. But it's possible I may just be over thinking it?
Any feedback from people who have one or two (or more) would be most welcome.
Thank you.
