People leave their dogs alone for that long. A properly crate-trained dog can go six hours, as long as you totally make it up to them when you get home.
Breed and individual temperment will make a huge difference in this. Our dog, a three year old chow mix, wouldn't mind being left alone for days at a time. Our friend's dog, a 1-year-old collie/lab would destroy the house if left alone for more than half a day. You also want to choose a breed with a low prey drive, because of your cats. What breeds do you have in mind?
