They need to adapt to their surroundings and, depending on the breed, will need daily exercise. You need to remember that it doesn t matter that it s the bottom of the ninth, your team is behind by two, with two outs and the bases loaded. It doesn t matter that your chocolate souffl will be done in precisely thirteen seconds. It doesn t matter that the cute guy or gal from purchasing decided to give you a call at that precise moment. It s your choice.
Cats can adapt to any size living quarters.
The same can be said for birds, fish and small mammals that live in a contained environment. Smaller dogs may also be able to get the necessary exercise inside, but larger, active dogs need more space and more daily exercise. Make sure you have a safe place for your pet during the day. Unless you live on a farm, don t let your cats and dogs run free. Keep them on a leash or in an enclosed area.
