Can we leave our kitten alone overnight?

Question

My two kittens are used to sleeping next to me, but I have to leave them for a night, are they going to be unhappy? I should be back around 7am when they usually wake up.

Thank you in advance

It is true that if your kitten sleeps with you every night, being alone might worry him a little. However, if he's used to being alone for a few hours a day, then there shouldn't be much of a problem. You can always leave him toys and why not cushions, clothes or other stuff with your odour to reassure him during your absence. This will be an opportunity for him to learn not to panic while being alone.
