Leaving your cats alone all day is now illegal in Sweden.
Cats are required by law to be tended to at least twice a day, and they must have a scratching post, elevated resting spots, and other mental stimulation.
Violators will be fined or worse.
one thing... I CAN NOT STAND.... is being ignored. if you're busy, say so. if you are not in the mood to talk, say so. if you are done with me, SAY SO. COMMUNICATE.
