Question

Okay I moved from portland to Gorham with my aunt and on firdays and week ends i go back to portland with my mom and also all my school vacas well i have a kitten and i love her and i dont know if i should bring her back and forth what will happen will it mess her up in a bad way i mean i love her and i dont want to leave her but i dont know what it could do to her with being her back and forth on weekends and vacas

Answer 1

My sis has two cats. When she and her husband come to visit from Long Island, sometimes they bring the cats and sometimes they don't. But, she started bringing them back and forth when they were kittens. Best time to get the baby used to the traveling. Sometimes they never get used to it and that's not easy but if you choose to leave the kitty home and not have it travel, be sure you have someone you can trust and count on to take care of the baby when you are not home.

Good luck

Answer 2

Cats are very territorial and need to be settled, if your cat doesn't have a settled home it will become upset and it won't feel it has a place. Be very careful about moving cats from one place to another. Let your kitten live with you at your aunts and you will just have to see it when you are there.To move it about because you would miss it would be selfish and not in the best interest of your kitten. Don't worry as long as it has a loving home at your aunts kitten will be happy and always glad to see you on your return. Good luck and remember you have to put the welfare of your kitten first.

Answer 3

I don't think it will mess her up, but the chances of her getting away from you and getting lost are dramatically increased each time you do. If it's only weekends, she'll be better off staying where she is used to being. Consider taking her when you finish school and start vacation, that makes more sense.
But whatever you decide, at least make sure she has a collar with a number you can be reached at while she's traveling with you.

Answer 4

It definitely depends on the cat some will adjust to the travel and some wont it does help that she is a kitten. It is a difficult question, i have two cats and would not want to be with out them, or leave them alone.

Answer 5

you can bring her back and forth, just put her in a carrying case however you travel. cats don't take well with moving vehicles. the kitten will get used to both locations eventually.

Answer 6

I think she might get a bit confused, but you should do whats best for your kitten, I think if it was a dog there would be no problem but I´m not to sure about your kitten, sure being so young she would get become used to it

Answer 7

try getting another cat to keep at one house. in other words keep your cat at one house and the new cat at the other. that way you'll aways have a cat to visit when you travel from place to place and the cats can be entirely relaxed by not traveling SO much.

ps: i also learned a way that you can keep in touch with your cat when you are apart. just call it's the owners house and ask the owner to hold the phone to your cat so you can hear it's meows and purrs plus talk to it. a cat will love to hear your voice. this also works with petsitters at your house,

Answer 8

Don't stress the poor thing out - find a permanent home for the kitten and wait until you are ready and settled down prior to getting another.

Answer 9

Where ever you are most often you should keep your kitten. If you keep moving it back and forth it will become aggresive or will get really stressed out.

Answer 10

I have travelled with my cat and he did fine.
It really depends on the cat. Take her with you and see how she does.
She might handle the longer vacations better than just the weekend stays.
