I haven’t posted here before, but I need some serious advice. My cat, Sushi, has been with me and my family for 6 years now. I got him for my 15th birthday :-) Even though all he’s ever known is me, my family, and my close friends, me and him have always had the closest bond. I’m the only person he’ll sit on for more than 3 minutes, he’s always crying at my door, he comes to me when I call him, etc etc… And that’s not to say I’m the only person he likes, we’re just the closest. I’m his true mama. I’m planning a big move in 2022 and I’m not sure what to do. If I were to be selfish, he’s coming with me 100%. I mean, he’s mine. He was my gift for my birthday and he has some separation anxiety with me, and as do I with him. When I move, I can’t bear the thought of him being alone and scared while I’m out at school or work. But, can he bear the thought of seeing me only a few times a year? My family doesn’t give anything near close the attention that I give him.. but is that better than being alone for a few hours and getting endless attention once I come home? I don’t know. I guess I’m afraid to rip him away from everything he knows. I don’t know if that would hurt him more than me being gone for good. He’s lived in our house with my mom, dad, brother, and our chihuahua, Penny. If we truly have the closest bond, will he be happier moving with me and always being able to smell my clothes and furniture? Or would he be happier here, with everything he knows and people he knows. Where I’m at right now is: I’m taking him. But I don’t want to be selfish and I don’t want to traumatize him. What would you do?
