Hi everyone!
I'm in a very difficult situation that I'm losing sleep over as I'm worried sick about how my cats and how they would respond to a possible move.
I will try to explain quickly.
Current situation:
My cats are all with my mom, there are four cats there, but only 2 are mine.
I'm currently renting an apartment in another city but I'm moving to a house in a few months and I would love to take my two cats then. The problem is, I would have a limited space with them (let's say aprox. 750sq feet) as I would be living with my dad and they couldn't roam the entire house, only my area of the house shared with my boyfriend. And right now, with my mom, they have 1600sq feet for the four of them where they can roam freely. I am very scared they will feel sad about less space and the closed door to the other areas of the house. And for separating them to their
But there are also good things.
Me and my boyfriend have a very close bond with my cats, they are real family to us, and they love us the most (my mom takes very good care of them, she also loves cats and owns two of them, but It's a special connection we have with ours that I just can't explain, the are always with us, following us). Plus, she is home less than us because of work and with us, our cats would have more company as we have the ability to have lunch at home and stay some mornings and afternoons there.
The area we would have available is two big bedrooms (one would be bedroom and other would be closet/small office space), a bathroom and two balconies. we are renovating the entire house and I could adapt the space to make them the most comfortable. I thought about cat-proofing the balconies, closing of one of them with glass, turning it into a mini room for them, with a cat tower and a tunnel, and the other with both wire all around and a mosquito net for the bugs (it's in the countryside), so that they can feel outside and feel the air safely.
So basically, I'm open to make make my girls as happy as possible, and adapting everything for them, and they would have more company, but it's true that it's a smaller space and I'm scared they would be sad when I'm not there. They are very connected to their space at home, and I would also be breaking the four cats apart.
I'm open to any ideas. If you tell me it's best for them to stay with my mom for their own happiness I will seriously consider, I will be devastated for not living with them but I want the best for them.
So sorry for my English as well as It's not my first language.
And thank you for reading so far.
