My current roommate and I bought cats the same day and the cats have lived together since they were brought home, but I plan to move out soon and hadn't realized that the cats had bonded so much so quickly. Is there a way to separate them when I move that wouldn't result in either cat dying or becoming unproductive from loneliness?

You cat will be lonely at first but they are very adaptable. If you can I would get another friend for your cat. But if you can't over time your cat with be ok.

Your cats both will probably be upset about this. Is it possible that one person could take both cats? (I realize it's probably not, but I'm suggesting it just in case.)
It would be a good idea for each of you to get another cat. The vast majority of cats really do like having another animal companion around, as you two have learned. If you get another cat, it will help your first cat not be lonely, which he/she will be without his friend, and when he's alone all day.
Please seriously consider it. My first cat was so much happier after I adopted a friend for her.

Not really. That is sad. And chances are both cats will be a bit depressed. You could always get another cat. That might help. Have enough toys around so it won't feel too lonely. Catnip helps! Catnip filled toys. Scratchers. String toys when you're around. Stuff like that.
Good luck!

Cats that are strangers to a minimum of one yet another will exhibit a shielding stance, twist their bodies sideways to make it seem greater suitable, earflaps down and in some situations will hiss. in the event that they don't demonstrate this habit you are able to assume they are close or detached yet approve. it rather is not consumer-friendly to inform if cats are bonded by way of fact some cats will cuddle as much as a distinctive, some won't yet that doesn't needed propose they are actually not linked to the different cat. Cats are territorial so in the event that they don't get shielding with yet another cat, which means they "approve" of that cat into their circle. i could call that a bond. I fairly have 4 cats, and one does positioned his paws on me while he sits by me. yet another could dance around my legs/physique. All my 4 cats have thoroughly distinctive personalities, to not point out how they practice their affection. Cats are territorial of their prominent human(s) too. They get jealous I puppy yet another cat they don't approve of etc. it rather is consumer-friendly to inform if a cat is bonded to me, they arrive as quickly as I call, they shop on with me as quickly as I walk, or the way they meow. it rather is kinda not consumer-friendly to describe, you only tend to appreciate their sound/physique language after assembly many many cats over the years.

If it has been less than a year, you probably won,t notice anything, If it has been longer than that and the cats are always together, after you move, get another cat so it has a friend.

aw, poor kitty. ok, there is absolutley a way to keep the kitten from becoming depressed after moving away from it's best friend.. you become it's best friend. You're gonna have to play with it and show it tons of love and attention. and i understand you cant completley replace his pal, but you can certaintly try, cause if you gotta move, you gotta move. Good Luck!

You could slowly seperate them. Like have one whole day that they don't see each other, then reunite them for awhile. Just plan to have plenty of visits and "playdates." You could distract them with a toy.

Get another cat. It is too lonely for a pet to not have a familiar friend.

No, sorry to say, but the cat will be miserable if you take it away from it's friend!
Leave them together, and find you a nice little fuzzy baby kitten!

If they are very close, I would not seperate them.
