How much company do cats need in a day?

Question

how much should they have to be happy?

Answer 1

It depends. I mean, I have two cats...one is basically anti-social and the other seems to never stop moving around. The older one isn't a lap cat at all, but appreciates a bit of attention. The younger one absolutely feeds off of attention. I guess you just have to learn the cat's personality and figure out how much attention keeps them feeling loved.

I've read that it largely depends on breed also, according to the source link I've given. It talks about it a lot toward the end of the page under "Help for Affection".

Answer 2

not much  

Answer 3

My 3 babies let us know when they need attention, believe you me!  lol  Otherwise, we pet them when we walk by, talk to them, etc.

Answer 4

It depends on the cat.My dear Wilson is all day around me.We love each other a lot and he knows it so he follows me wherever I go(except the hours he sleeps)But it is nice to be loved ♥ ♥ ♥

Answer 5

really not much!!!

they just sleep and nap all day so they dont need company to sleep!

i guess when a cat need company or attention OR FOOD, he/she will come up 2 u... and when they do that its sooo cute...

however i try my best to spend as much time as i can with him...even if that is he sleeping in the kitchen floor and me washing the dishes!! lol

Answer 6

They are usually happy enough being allowed to roam the area around so they dont need much company really, aslong as they are not locked indoors all the time.

Answer 7

cats dont need much company but they still need to be loved and cared for

Answer 8

well it depends on if they are pure breed...like some breeds do not need much attention but others like Balinese need ALOT of attention,but most cats are fine with maybe an hour total for a 24 hour period.my cat does not like being alone lol.

Answer 9

About 3/8.
