my cousin gave me a cat named karma. shes really sweet and is an outdoor cat. the thing is she always goes to one of my neighbors. sometimes when i call her next to the neighbors house she comes but most of the time she doesnt. the neighbors are really nice. Im going to move soon and dont want karma to be sad but i also dont wanna leave her. what should i do?

Ask your neighbor if they would like the cat. If they don't want the cat I think you should take Karma with you unless you don't want em. I would take Karma to an adoption agency, but if you do the cat still might be sad.
Good Luck!

Strangely enough, I've had this exact experience (except for the cousin part...mine was a rescue animal). My black, fluffy cat was ever named Karma! She now lives with a friend of mine, who moved to a city, an hour away.
If you believe that the neighbors can provide her with a safe, loving home, then talk to them about adopting her. If they are interested, make sure that they know about her diet and her medical history, and make they promise to contact you should they decide not to keep her.
If you don't think you can bear to part with her, make her an indoor cat. My friend, who adopted Karma-Kat, keeps her indoors all the time, and she has adapted quite nicely (except for peeing to mark her territory).

You should make him/her an indoor cat that way it won`t go running off and it is always easier for the cat to adjust to its new home. If you have an outdoor cat when you move it`ll get scared and will take a long time to adjust. I t might even run away! :O

Separation from someone you like can be difficult. Even for cats. However, your cat will get over it. Your cat should love you more than the neighbors. After awhile, your cat will forget it even knew them.

Make her an indoor cat. It'll take some patience but it can be done. When she fusses to go out, distract her with toys or catnip. She's safer inside anyway.

ask the people next door if they would like to have your cat

If you love something, let it go.
