I have 2 cats. We lived in apartments for a bit and things happened and we all moved in with a relative. They are now at a big house with a wooded backyard. For me, the living situation was a bit difficult. I didn't have a room and sleeping/living in the living room became a bit too much for me. I ended up moving with another relative who has 2 cats. I've been away from my cats for months and it sucks. I think they are being cared for but am weary because they go outside. Where they are, the backyard has lots of trees and seems pretty secluded. I didn't want them going outside but not being there, it happened.
I just want to be with my cats but this situation is somewhat complex to me. I would be asking the relatives I live with to bring in 2 more cats to have a total of 4 in our house and I'm concerned of the feelings my relative might have that currently has my cats. soon after we first moved into her house, one of my cats got out and got sick because he ate what appeared to be a quarter. We went to the vet and he was saved and put on antibiotics for 30 days. He was saved because she noticed he was acting strange, and because she nursed him back to health with the antibiotics for 30 days.
I am not thrilled that they go outside which is the reason I am considering all this. They've been going outside for months so I am a bit at ease with it, but I'm still concerned. I can't stop them from going outside over there, but if they are going to be outside anywhere, I think that is an ideal place for them to do that. If I were to bring them here, I am not sure how things would go with the other cats here, and I don't know that one of them wouldn't get out here. He is tricky and has a way of getting out. Over here would not be a good area for him to get out. There's not really a backyard, just lots of streets and houses.
I plan to be on my feet soon but this pandemic has put my plans on hold. This post is therapy more than anything else because I lean towards thinking I shouldn't do anything right now and just get them when I get back on my feet which hopefully will be in a few months. I just miss them and want them to be safe.
