I recently moved about 14 hours away from home for graduate school. I live in a pretty spacey townhome where pets are allowed. I have a cat at home (with my parents and another cat whom she doesn't like, but tolerates), she is about 15, that I've had since she was a kitten. We are both very attached to each other. When I am home, she follows me everywhere, sleeps on my bed every night, and pretty much tries to lay on my lap whenever I sit down. She really doesn't like anyone else but me (and my mom a little bit). I initially planned on bringing her down here with me because I really hate not being with her. But I am very nervous about putting her through something so stressful at this point of her life. I know cats become very attached to their environments and she's only ever lived in one house. She also gets scared just going in the car. I really cannot decide whether to just bite the bullet and bring her (it would have to be by plane) or keep her at home where she's comfortable, but doesn't have me.
If I don't end up bringing her, I was thinking about adopting another cat down here which I feel is betrayal, LOL. Any advice would be much appreciated, I love my cat more than most people and just want to do what would be best for her.
