Thank you for submitting your question regarding Pishoo. Congratulations on becoming a cat owner! Kittens are a lot of fun. He should play hard and then sleep. It is important to give him lots of love, attention and play time. However, it is equally important that he is left alone to have nap time. He is rapidly growing and developing and much of this happens while his body rests. When you need to leave him alone, be sure to play with him first. This will help to tire him out. Then keep him in a small safe area such as a bedroom. Make sure that he has access to his litterbox, food and water. He will likely nap most of the time you are gone and play alone some. It is important for him to learn to be alone. I hope this information helps!
