Hi all,
I'm starting my PhD soon in the US and I'm moving there. I have two cats, the older Tiger (5 years old) and Max (4.5 years)
And I've been contemplating taking them along for a while but could not come to a clear answer. I really love them and want to take them. It's just I'm not sure they are gonna like it there.
For one thing, they have lived all their lives in houses that exceed 2000 sqft. The apartment I am moving in is 700 sqft. So, my first question is would they adjust to that? Especially since they lived many years in large houses.
I thought of taking them and if it's going to be a problem then I can send them home but that is going to cost me +2000$ easily.
Tiger makes it very difficult to live in peace if he's not happy for one reason or another.
Maybe I can leave them at my parents' here. But I went to the UK before for one year and I missed them A LOT. Also I want to take them. But I'm concerned about the space issue.
I can take them for walks every now and then, but in my experience, that becomes mandatory as Tiger can be VERY VOCAL demanding it every day and/or every time he wishes so. So, I'm worried that will backfire on me lol. Maybe you think just leave Tiger then. But it's Tiger who I love and miss the most.
I don't know guys. What do you think?
Anyone with any experience or advice?
Thank you a lot guys
