Finding the right balance between leaving your cat alone for too long and just enough time is really important for keeping Fluffy happy and healthy at home.
I've heard it said that it's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog. That principle works for cats, too and I can prove it with a raccoon who got the jump-scare of his life thanks to a feline who is convinced he's Chuck Norris.
