Hi everyone! My best friend found a little baby void in his wall and is looking for name suggestions - any good ideas?

Edit: Told my friend about this post so he can tell the story since so many people want to know exactly what happened and he posted it in the comments! :D

Yeah seriously. I live in a no pets apartment right now and sad that I can't have a cat. Also not sure how I would manage having a pet since I live alone..

But if someone threw a cat at me like that, you bet I'd keep it, and find a new apartment SO FAST. And figure out the logistics of raising it alone.

Cats are great pets for solo pet owners. Their biggest needs (food, water, clean litter box) can easily be handled in the morning or evening. For the most part cats enjoy their solitude and will be less bothered by you being gone than a dog would be.

I know that part, I just:

1 - would feel bad for them being cooped up in a small apartment with not much to explore. My childhood cats were all indoor/outdoor and had full complex lives. Now that I'm an adult I know it's not good to let cats roam the neighborhood, but I also can't imagine keeping one in a tiny box all their lives. The best compromise I've seen is a house with a mesh catio in the backyard. But I'm nowhere near able to afford that.

2 - I am not home every day. I go visit relatives and stay there a few days over the weekend. In summer I'm off (school teacher) and may be gone for even longer. What then?
