So I’m considering getting a kitten. The one I’ve been looking at is half Siamese. I have a job that is 7am to 4pm (sometimes til 5), and I’m off weekends and also off for the entire summer. But is that too long to leave such a social cat breed alone daily?
I can come home during lunch certain days to play/check on him. But not every day.
What do you think?

I suggest getting two cats especially if one is as social as a Siamese.It's better for them if their human is away for hours each day.I have a lilac point and a long haired black cat that are bonded.Plus it's extra entertaining watching them play together.

I have 3 siamese!!! I had one for 6 years all by himself and he was fine, I worked 8-12 hour shifts as a nurse. I just recently got 2 more kittens! When I only had one, and I worked long shifts, I made sure he had plenty of fresh water and food, toys, litter box, cat tree. Edit: Also if you can't afford 2 Siamese, you can get a shelter kitty and one Siamese, if that makes you feel better!

you could get two of them so they keep each other company
