Hey all, first I'd like to say how glad I am I found this site. I have loved cats my entire life but never had one until April of this year and I've been learning a lot on here.
I got a 10 week old cat back in April, she is wonderful and well behaved. I got her spayed at 6 months, she has all her shots and is healthy. Right now she's going through a bit of a rebellious phase but she never gives me any problems. She's an indoor cat, uses her litter box perfectly, eats her meals, drinks lots of water, plays, never scratches furniture, etc. She is just lovely
I come from a large family so since the beginning she got used to 7 of us around her, including a toddler who tortures her but she hangs in there.
Right now I'm in the process of moving to the apartment in the basement of our house. This basement is completely separate from my home (it has a back door, no way to get in from the house) and I will be taking kitty with me. My question is- Would it be ok for my cat to be going back and forth between the basement apartment and the house? I plan on leaving her old litter box here, her old water/food bowls, toys, etc so she has her things when we come here. I have new things for the basement apartment. She's gotten used to being around my family and loves them so I don't want her to stay in the basement forever and not visit them (lol). At the same time, I worry that going back and forth sometimes will cause behavior problems or stress her out.
What do you cat experts recommend? So sorry if this sounds ridiculous or paranoid but I love her! I just want her to be as comfortable as possible
