According to the article, you're only required to work with the cats for 5 hours per day. As for food, they provide breakfast as well as housing. Assuming you sleep 8 hours per day, that's 11 hours per day to yourself. Frankly, I think this would be an amazing way to spend a summer month or two.

Can you ONLY be around them 5 hours a day? Because the 11 hours without them sounds pretty sad. So does the 8 hours of sleep without kitties on top of me, soaking up my warmth.

The article says, "applicants will be expected to commit five hours per day, five days per week to hands-on feline care." To me that means if you want to spend more time with them than you can. I imagine you could do as many hours per day and days per week that you want to. You are correct though that having to spend eight hours sleeping without kitty cuddles could be a negative.

Maybe I could take 2 or 3 home at night, if I promise to bring them back in the morning. Rotate them, give them all a chance to visit.

I really want this job, I have to learn Greek.
