Hello, hopefully people look at this! So I have an interesting situation and I have done some research but want some advice from outside sources and who better to ask then the people on this website. So I am currently in college about 3 hours away from my hometown and I have been off and on thinking about bringing my cat along to live with me here. Now she is about 14 and she currently lives with my parents. She’s never lived anywhere other then in the house she in living in now. However we got a new cat about 5 years ago and they do not get along. So for about the last 3 years my cat Kiki has been confined to my bedroom by her own choice because she is afraid of our other younger cat. She definitely has a strong attachment to me and without me there she only gets attention from my parents for around an hour a day because of their busy schedules and the fact that she will not leave my room.
Because she lives in my small room I feel as though if I brought her to college and had her living in my room, it would not be too great of a transition for her. I would love to have her here with me but I just want what’s best for her. I know cats are territorial and it can be stressful for them to move but I want to hear what others have to say. especially with the fact that I would have to move her home for winter break and then back to college in the spring and then again back home for the summer. So would it be too stressful for her to make the 3 hour move and travel back and fourth?
Side note: I also play softball at my university so I don’t have the most consistent schedule and will be gone quite a bit in the spring.
