Okay so this might not be the right subreddit but I’m kind of new to reddit and I don’t know a whole lot so I apologize. My fiancé (24m) and I(22f) have 5 cats. They’re all so wonderful and special to us, and I couldn’t imagine life without them. When my fiancé and I moved in together I tried to bring my 2 cats from my parents home with me, but one was about 11 (Bebe pronounced “bee bee”) at the time and the other about 4 (Graycie); but they did not acclimate well because we didn’t introduce them properly. So they were adult/elderly cats and I wanted to move them in with us and at that time we only had 4 cats, our 5th came to us in September of 2018 as a gorgeous little kitten. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and I cannot stop thinking about my oldest cat I had to leave with my parents. I think about how now he’s about 12 and he’s getting older and he was my first cat that was mine, I’ve had him since I was 12 and moving in with my fiancé was hard on me emotionally because I missed my 2 babies that were/still are with my parents. What do I do now that my oldest and first baby is older? Should I ask my fiancé if we should try to move Bebe in? Bebe is a very sweet cat, he’s a little skiddish but overall, he is the best of boys, and I want him to live out his last few years with me. Bebe probably has 6 more years to give and I want him to know that he is loved by us and I want to be with him when he crosses that rainbow bridge. I don’t want to regret not spending more time with him. I’m also worried that my parents may not be as good for him as we could be- they have no cat toys, no scratching posts, no cat trees and we have all of those things because we have SO many cats. I just want to do what’s best for my oldest baby and my heart says that we should bring him here and try again to acclimate atleast Bebe if not also integrate the other cat, Graycie. They’re both fixed and have all of their vaccines. But I’m worried about putting them through too much stress. I also can’t justify owning 7 cats. Advice please?
