Hi all. I wrote on here not long ago regarding my cat who lives with me... but I have a concern now regarding my cat who does NOT live with me. He's about 11 years now - I got him when I was 11. He's always been my special baby. Slept by me *almost* every night and what not. About a year ago, I moved quite far away. About 16 hours drive away, to live with my boyfriend. I didn't take my boy with me, I thought (and still think) it would be bad for him, that's been his home all his life, and my parents/sister can look after him. I still adore him.
He got slightly sick not long ago and he really DID get depressed. He's better now, his infection is going down. My sister loves to send me photos of him, and it might be imagination, but he always looks sad to me. I kind of have this thing going on in my mind that he constantly thinks, "why isn't mommy here? Doesn't mommy love me anymore?"
I don't know if this is irrational or not but it tears me clean in two when the slightest thought comes into my mind that he might think that. I would be shattered if he thinks I have abandoned him or I don't love him anymore. We saw each other last month, we had snuggles and what not, although he seemed sliiightly different.
I always think about bringing him here but I reeaally don't think it's a good idea.
Does anyone perhaps have experience in this area? I would appreciate any insight!!!
