Is it okay to move my cat? Will she adjust to a new home alone?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 7 years and 1 month old | 10 lbs

i want to bring my cat with me when i move(7 hours away). and i have other cats here at my moms, and i just want to know whether or not i should bring her. she sleeps with me every night so i think it would benefit her more if she were to come with me. but there would be no other cats.

Hi, I think your cat will be able to settle in her new home provided she gets company and affection from yourself as she used to. I would make sure she gets play time and mental stimulation as well as quiet times. Definitely a Feliway plug in will help in her new home !
