Sorry, I don't remember which one of you it was, but I was just wondering how the kitty who had the swelling in its ears is doing?

Here is a recent photograph of my Teddy. He's wearing the dog's shirt that says "Good Dog" on it. As you can see, Teddy is very petite.

OK so contrary to my prior thinking, my cats aren't fat. *L* They are adorable. Is that your kitty Nala? Looks like my Zippy.

I love stuffonmycat.com. I'm always trying to put stuff on my cats but it never stays long enough to get a picture. Cute babies, Beckie! I have a question about moving long-distance with my kitties. It looks like I'll be moving about four hours away, and DH will be following about a month behind me. We have two cats, who *tolerate* each other. One is very much MY cat, the other is very much HIS cat (both in the way we love them, and also in the way they love us). The options are: 1. I leave both cats here and DH brings them both when he comes a month after me. 2. I take both cats with me and leave DH kittyless for a month. 3. I take Sofie when I go, and he brings Holly with him when he comes. I'm worried that if we separate the girls for a month, six weeks, that we'll have issues when we try to reunite them, because they already barely tolerate each other. But I also worry about the separation anxiety of the girls only having one of us... Sofie would be SO mad at me if I left her with Daddy for six weeks... Has anyone ever been in a similar situation? I guess I'm really just thinking out loud here, seems every option I think of is a catch-22.

If they already have problems with each other, I wouldn't separate them. Who knows they might come to like each other better if there's only one parent around. As far as who should keep the kitties. Who would be the most upset do you think? Sophie or Holly? Also which one gets along better with the opposite parent? And which parent tolerates the opposite kitty better? When my husband got his job in Kentucky he had to move but I kept the house in Iowa for 2 1/2 months. Eddie is totally in love with hubby. I kept Eddie with me for 8 weeks. And he was home alone alot of the time because I was at my folks house taking care of my mom and brother. He had spent extra time with my hubby as hubby was unemployed. I could tell he missed hubby but I don't think there was any separation anxiety. Just show love to both kitties and try not to favor one of the other. It's 6 - 8 weeks at the most. They kitties should be fine. But I would keep them together.

Another thought. I think it is important to keep the kitties together because if you take one to the new house and not the other, that kitty will consider it her turf and the other kitty will be the intruder. If they both go to the new house at the same time they will be equals.

Another thought. If you must separate them, switch cats. He keeps "yours" and you keep "his".

Wow, Serate, I never even thought of the turf wars that could ensue. That's an excellent point. I was only thinking maybe they'd regard each other as 'new kitties', not 'long lost sister friend', LOL. He does better with my cat than I do with his. Holly doesnt' like me often. But Sofie goes absolutely mad when I'm not around. If I go home to my Mum's for two days, I'm told Sofie spends most of her time at the front door, meowing, looking back at Don, meowing, back to the door. Where's Mommy?? I dunno... I think it'll suck either way, but only for a couple of weeks. Suck it up and deal.

I should add, it's not like we absolutely cannot deal with each other's cats. It's not a clearcut MINE vs. HIS. They are both technically 'our' kitties. But you know how persnippity cats can be.

I knew you liked each others cats. We had - before the puppy - his cat and my cat basically. I tried to back away from Zippy some so he could bond with hubby. [Eddie blamed me for over 2 years for HUBBY bringing Zippy home, even tho Eddie and Zippy are best of friends and have been from day 1. The puppy has Eddie acting like his old self with me.] And me being home with Jack [puppy] all day, I'm trying to back away a little at night to give hubby and Jack one on one time. He'll sit with his nose to the floor if I go downstairs and not even pay attention to hubby. So Wed I went down and stayed downstairs doing laundry and messing around on the computer until he went and laid at hubby's feet. He LOVES my hubby, but he wants ME all the time. So I'm trying to curve his needs to include daddy too. After reading more, I think you should take both kitties with you. First it seems Sofie has more anxiety. Second, it's new turf, and maybe Sofie and Holly will bond more because they are familiar and their surroundings will be new. Whatever you decide to do, good luck and best wishes in your move.

My boyfriend moved out about two months and I kept the cat, Karen. He doesn't come over much but when she does...she knows who he is...but isn't a lovely dovey as she used to be...unless he spends the night and he around for a lot then she starts to really warm up again. I would keep them together...whether you or the hubby keep them is up to you, but I would defintely keep them together....

I must confess whenever hubby travels alone or I travel alone the one at home puts the phone on speaker and we talk to the babies. Hubby did this EVERY night when Eddie was with me for so long w/o seeing him. Eddie would just purrrr and rub against the phone.

Don't really know. I would have said each take your cat, since they are more bonded to you than to each other. I think they will recognize the other when they are reunited, may hiss a bit, but will settle down when life returns to normal. Ignore the hissing. Or give it a firm NO. Once they learn that the bad behavior (if any) will not be tolerated, much less catered to, they will settle down.
