I brought Marco home and the first few days I left him alone in my room. I mean the cas saw him but werent hounding him basically. My cats are very independent, and Patches need some attention but she will find you and stand outside my door making noise for you. Patches will do that, and Ill let her in and pet her. She was jealous the other night because I was cleaning the rabbit cage instead of playing with her. But I played with her later and bought her a new toy (so she ignores me whenever she gets a new toy). Stripes he cold care a less, he plays with the other cats. But hes in love with my younger brother. He will following him around and chase him so it keeps him entertained. He comes in my room the odd time, but constantly like Patches. He is scared of the rabbit but hes working on it. Toppie could care a less, just as long as you feed him, and keep bringing him toys, he wouldnt know if you were around or not. I have to shut my bedroom door because my parents 1 dog I dont trust. He has snapped at cats and other dogs. But has been chasing bunnies around the backyard. So I put a gate, and shut my door just in case especially when Im not home. Because Im shutting my door, and having a gate across Im ignoring my cats. Patches will come to the door and meow really loud so I go pick her up and bring her in. Toppie will head butt the door, and Stripes will scratch. Its not that I dont bring them in but if they are off playing Im not going to drag them into my room. My Dad still on a tantrum about having a rabbit, and hes just trying to proove things wrong. My Moms on my side, and she brings the cats in when Im working, and lets them in. Toppie is bonding with Marco its like he has to check up on him. He will be playing then suddenly stop and want in my room, run to the cage, make sure hes alright, then go play again. Patches will watch him while on my bed, and Stripes just cant be bothered.

We can't have any pets in the house. Our Rosie has to live outside now and she isn't at all happy about that right now. It's raining out and she is outside in the rain baying. She wants to come in where we are. She is used to sleeping in the bed with my daughter and now she has to live outside. She has cover but she isn't at all happy right now. Sometimes she likes it but not when it is raining. She is very destructive. My SIL really misses his bonding time with her but his mother won't let us have the dog inside.

I would never in my life just shoo my animals outside because someone say they cant live in the house. I would tell them where to bend over and shove it. Its a couple change in atmosphere, and she wont be happy it will just issue with her and her behaviour. I wouldnt be surprised if she became agrressive, and even attack someone. Also, withdraw from them all for sending her out there. My neighbours did that and the dog actually attacked the father one day.

I don't think you are ignoring them if you take that much time to make sure they are safe and understand their different personalities lol. You have a busy scheduled as do most people do and are doing your best which I think is great. As long as they aren't caged up all day or something horrible like that I think they are fine :)

Parents really just like that lol When I had my puppy they said I was not spending enough time with her because I had to go to work I would call them if I was going to be home late to let her out but I'm not quitting my job to stay home with the dog plus she plays with the cats every day
