Question
I currently have two roomates and one of them has a cat about 3 months old. i would realy love to get another, but im afraid that in just 8 months, her and i may not live together, and am afraid that the cats would not adapt well if seperated...what are your thoughts?
Hi Dayna,
Why don't you get two kittens about the same age as your roomate's, then if he moves, your two could still have each other, although, moving along with not having a playmate might upset your roomates cat. You might want to wait and see if he indeed actually moves out. It is kind of a dilemma because changing a cat's environment in ANY way always upsets them. Cats hate change. If it was me making the decision, I think I would wait and see if he stays or goes before adding another cat. It is totally up to you though. Let me know if I can be of further help.
Hugs,
Barb

Expertise
I have been a cat breeder for over 25 years. I know a lot about health and behavior of felines. I can also help potential exhibitors learn about the world of showing cats. I know when I can help answer health questions and when to refer to a veterinarian... I would be happy to help any who have questions about cats. My particular breed of cat is an Ocicat, however, I have always owned many cats of various breeds.
Experience
In the cat world, I have entered my cats in many cat shows. I have shown one cat to a Grand Championship award, then after he was neutered, I entered him again in the neuter category, and again grand championed him in that category, and showed him to a Grand Premier. I will always remember the sweetness of his nature, and how he "wowed" the judges with his loving ways.
