It really depends on the cat. For example, if you have a big lazy cat, then that would mean that you need to start getting them to start moving more or else they'll become obese. But if your cat is an outdoor type, then they don't really need much exercise at home because of all the chasing and playing the do with other cats . Just don't forget to not over exercise your pet. It should be about 10-20 minutes.

The term 'Cat Nap' should give you a hint. Cats sleep a lot. On average 13 to 16 hours a day. It varies from cat to cat, but older cats usually need more sleep.

Cats do not need a lot of attention and are great for people who want a pet but is at work. Cats are easier to look after than dogs so you are most likely to get a cat than a dog.
