i live alone and work 12 hrs overnight.

i desperately want a kitten but i think it’s unethical because they’ll be alone so much, 12-14 hours when i include the commute, plus sleeping in the daytime.

how do you guys live alone & own pets without neglecting them? this is my first time having a house where i can own a pet. i grew up in foster care and never had a pet my entire life, and i just wanna be a present pet parent
