Here's my situation, please offer your advice/opinion on this if you can bear with me:
I have two 13 year old cats (Lizzy and Jayne) that my family and I adopted as kittens and I have grown up with. They are not litter mates but have been together in the same house their entire lives.
Since getting them, Lizzy and I have been attached at the hip. Wherever I am, she is most of the time. She sleeps next to me every night and will go to whatever room I’m at and sit near by. Her and the other cat Jayne tolerate each other and sometimes will sleep on the same bed if they are not too close to one another (friends from a distance). They do not really play together or anything. When I moved off to college Lizzy took it hard at first and licked balled spots on her belly. However, after 6 years of me being back and forth between college, she is more used to me being away for longer periods of time. My parents say she always acts happier when I’m home.
Now that I’m back from college, I’m moving in to my own place 20 minutes away. This leads to my problem.....
Do I take Lizzy with me out of the house she has always lived in and the cat she has always been around? Or do I leave her at home and her not have me around as much? I want to do what’s best for her and Jayne. Of course I want her with me. But again, I need to do what’s best for my older kitty.
