Hi, my friend just moved out of my house with his 6-7 year old cat who has been an outdoor cat all his life, to an apartment(didn't look for a duplex or anything like that really). My question is pretty simple, will he(the cat) have any problem knowing which door belongs to my friend? my friend has moved a few times with him so he knows to keep him indoors for 2-3 weeks to help him adapt, and his cat is pretty smart. I was just wondering if he's going to be able to tell which door belongs to him. Its an outdoorish apartment with his apartment door facing a backyard and alley and stuff like that, but on the second floor and there are like 6 doors on his floor, but luckily he is the last one in the row so that should make it a little easier.
im just worried because I've known the cat its whole life and am super attached to it as if it is one of my own, and to be honest, i was wayyy more bummed about the cat leaving than my friend. his cat liked me more too. would always want to sit on my chest and get pet and would come into my room. he basically ignored my friend other then when he wanted to go outside.
I plan on getting a collar and a tag for him just in case either way.
thanks
ps. spin off question, since it might be better to just ask here then a new thread. I have my own cat, he's about 2 and a half years old now. for the past year, he had my friends cat as a friend/company. they would surprising play together, slept together and ate together even though they are both males and my boy isn't fixed. Now, the question is, I've noticed that since my friend and his cat moved out, he's been wandering around sorta looking for him, he waits by the glass door for him(my cat is indoor only). Would getting him a little friend be a good idea? Or is he just whining and doing stuff normally and I'm convincing myself he's looking for his buddy?
thanks
here are pics of my cat and the black one is my friends
thanks and sorry for the long post.
