I'll spare the long explanation as to how I got into this predicament. Long story short, I'm a single guy who has to travel a lot for work (leave early Monday, get home late Thursday every week), I have a 21 month old boy Russian Blue.
My cat and I are about to move into our own place soon. I knew this situation was coming, so I've thought a ton about it and this is Plan A:
I'm picking up a second Russian Blue on Saturday, a 3 1/2 month old girl. Hopefully, her and the boy will become friends or at least tolerate each other and interact. We'll be moving into our own place in about 1-2 months. At that point, so the cats aren't left alone they'll be staying with my mother at her house from Monday night-Thursday morning every week. They'll stay with me at my place Thursday-Monday every week. My mother has 2 cats and 2 dogs of her own that get along fine.
Is it possible for my two cats be able to happily adapt to this situation? The one I already have has traveled a fair amount already, and seems to handle it ok.
Has anyone ever done anything like this with cat(s) or know someone who has? Am I crazy for trying this?
