My kitten is crazy active at night. Is he bored while I'm at work?

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 3 lbs

I just got my first pet, he’s a kitten and he’s super sweet but i’m worried that i’m a terrible person since he doesn’t have a playmate to keep him entertained while i’m at work. He is very needy and crazy active when I get home. Is this just because he’s so inactive during the day? I hope someone can help out. Thank you!

You aren't a terrible person! You have to work, and kittens are naturally playful. I'd get Severus some toys to keep him occupied during the day. Check out the Catit brand of toys. They have play circuits that will keep him occupied for a while. I hope this helps!
