I've been feeling more and more strongly about moving to an apartment, but I have no idea what to do with my cat!
It might not even happen for a few months or even a year.
The problem is that the for a cat who is used to a house, moving into a not so big apartment might not be so good. And he is also used to be taken for a walk at least an hour a day, which may not be as easy if I move. Our current neighborhood is the perfect place for this, but most apartments are close to the road and have hardly any green areas. That means someone has to drive us some other place each time we're going outside (I've been to busy studying to ever get my licence...).
If he stays here, I highly doubt that my family is going to take him for a walk every day, which might make them consider letting him out without a leash. He has never been outside without his leash, and since we've walked this whole neighborhood plus taken him for a walk on the beach, the forest etc, I'm scared he wouldn't even find his way, or wander of into the forest and get lost there. We also have moose and badgers here, and as curious as my dare, stupid cat is, he might get attacked by a badger... And all the outdoor cats here seems so depressed and apathetic..
Sorry for babbling on like this, I just have no idea what to do. The thought of living without him brings me to tears every time, but sooner or later I have to move
