Next thing you know that cat will be writing in saying it has all the responsibility of Way. 🙀
That her Niece cat moved away with the golden child and now the entertainment is harder as it is much more work to put on a floor show all alone not to mention no one to share the blame with when that vase falls off the shelf. 😼
Does Way even know how much Emotional energy it takes to care for a human 24/7?!😿
It’s at least a two cat job unless they are already trained up like Golden and Gershun.
We will just have to advise Way’s cat to suck it up and dish out some tough love. 😾
Do a little more meowing.
Pat Ways ankles when she walks by. 😽
Sneak into Way’s bed when DH isn’t looking and get an extra cuddle.
Meow hello when Way comes in the door or the dish gets low.
Sigh …. Maybe Alva will send Freida over to prove how little care an extra cat is. 🦮x3
Stamp, stamp, stamp.🐈 Show Way there’s plenty of room in the litter box.
Perhaps there’s a cricket hidden under the sofa the cat can bring to cheer Way up or maybe a lizard?
Way might like lizards. 🦗🦎
The important thing is to work in some naps and check the food bowl often and spread a little litter so Way will know how much she’s needed.

Drivingdaisy,

I’m trying to keep it to one cat . One is enough work. I don’t want to cave.

All of mine that have moved have gone cold turkey. The oldest one at 13 wouldn't leave the car for 3 days so we brought his food and water out to him. Eventually he got comfortable enough and was fine then.

I wonder if going back and forth will be more confusing for the cat. On the other hand if you have the time and energy a gradual move may work well. Anyone I know has always done cold turkey and the cat has adjusted well. In the long run, and mostly in the short run. I think either will work out.

What makes you more comfortable? I guess you are doing to miss this cat when (s)he has moved away.

My daughter’s cat has moved 3 times ( the last current one was back to my house , her first home, so it was familiar ) I do think this next move is soon for her , only 6 months from coming back to us . I guess a somewhat gradual move would be better rather than cold Turkey ??
Bring her to visit her new home a few times for a few hours before doing overnight ?
Anyone have thoughts on this ?
It’s less than 5 miles away, so it’s not a problem .

Way -as Gershun says. she'll get through it. Rocky didn't like travelling down here, but she adjusted to it and to our new place. At Christmas we Went away for a few days and jeft her on her own. She was fine when we came back. Cats get comfort from being in their own homes. Your cat will be in her own place, That helps her. Don't worry and find troubles before they happen. ((((hugs))))

Cats do adjust. But when we lost our Daniel, his brother Henrick never stopped looking for him even three years later. He'd always go the long way to his food dish, stopping to look for Daniel on the way. When we lost Henrick all I could picture was the grand reunion on the rainbow bridge. :)

But don't let my gloomy story worry you way. I'm sure things will work out fine for your cat.

Golden ,

Daughter has not moved out yet . Will be in a couple of weeks . She’s not far so we can have them visit . When they moved back here , daughter’s cat was eating ALOT for awhile . I believe she was stressed over missing my daughter’s ( ex) fiancé when they broke up .

This will be the first loss for my cat . Thanks for the tips of extra attention . I guess if anything seems really off , a trip to the vet to rule out things will be needed . Unfortunate timing but we will also be going away for 5 days . My son offered to come and work from my house a coulple of days and my daughter the other couple of days , and she will bring her cat along. I fear everyone disappearing at once will scare her even if I had a cat sitter visit daily .

Way - it's lovely hat they care for one another. Is your cat pining when they are apart? Rocky adjusted to losing Pumpkin but it took time. I see loss as part of life - we all experience it and so do our pets. You can't protect anyone or anything for loss all their life.

Our cat at the time that Gordie died visibly mourned him for 4 years. Not all the time but he had episodes. All I could do was comfort him. He got through it and was a happy cat when he passed.

Golden,

My daughter’s cat is the dominant one . She actually lived with us when she was a kitten and young cat for 2 years before I got my cat . So when she moved back in she enforced her dominance . She had remembered the house right away , ran right up to my daughter’s old room . To be fair she had been visiting here and there the whole time anyway . Today the two of them were sitting together very close , doesn’t happen that often although my cat tries .

This last round I got a kitten and called her Pumpkin. Then a few months later we got her half sister. Pumpkin was not impressed and soon showed us all she was the dominant one. A couple of years went by during which they got along fine.

Then we lost Pumpkin. Rocky was, obviously to me, quite affected by the loss of her sister. I don't know how to describe it other than I could see she was wrestling with something and a bit withdrawn.

However she came out of it and is a happy only cat. I think she would tolerate another one, as she accepts what we do, but certainly doesn't need a companion cat.

Way, play dates sound good and give her some extra attention/affection. It may be enough. I've upped the brushings to twice a day some days She loves them and there is much less fluff on the floor and fewer hairballs to clean up.

That is hard, my son moved in with my x for a time, Xs cat and my son's cat got so close , my son left his cat there.

I feel like some cats really need another cat in the home. Probably more so than not, depending on how much time your cat is left alone

Probably the biggest bad behavior, would be not going in the litter box, and finding gifts around you house.

I have a cat question .
I have one cat ( my first) . She’s 5 years old . She was an only cat until about 6 months ago when my daughter moved back home ( temporarily ) with her cat ( she is 7 years old).

Daughter and her cat will be moving out soon. What should I expect ? Any behaviors I should be aware of that are worrisome ? I think my cat may miss the other cat , however I do not really want to feel like I need to adopt a sibling for my cat. We will plan playdates . The other cat I don’t think will care either way . She’s more the loner of the two .

Female cat:

People have asked whether I’m single, and you know what, yes I am. Because no one is good enough for me, you know?

I want someone to look at me the way I look at a can of tuna.

And that is very hard to find, alright?

Barb, awww so sorry, that sucks, 😔 please let us know what the outcome of the , neropsy is. Having cats it's always good to know , what to watch out for.

At first I was wondering about bird flu, but I'm sure he was indoor cat. I have one that goes out, we stopped feeding the birds this year, just in case.

So sorry, Barb. She was a young cat. Your dd will miss her. We lost one who sickened very quickly. The vet said it was a virus and nothing she could do. it's always sad to lose a fur baby.

Sad to tell you all that McGoldrick (my daughter's cat) died early Monday AM in the ICU. The vets are still baffled about what took him so quickly, so there will be a necropsy. He was a good cat and only 6 years old.

Thanks, Barb. Hope your daughter's cat gets better. How old is it?

My daughter's cat has stopped eating. Blood tests and X-rays at the vets don't show anything. He ate a miniscule amount yesterday and then stopped again. She's at the Animal Medical Center in Manhattan (basically a city-wide ER for animals. Hoping they can solve it.

So glad Rocky is settling in, Golden!
Happy Mother's Day to all of us pet parents.

My sweet girl that is so in love with me, keeps finding stuff I lost , when I'm not home and putting them on the couch where I sit.

Yesterday it was my wool llbean socks that I couldn't find all winter. Today it was my sock, with a tennis ball in it , for my back , that I couldn't find.
