Consistency, stability, routine, familiarity, dependability, habitual, scheduled, regular, normal yeah... these are the trademarks of a cat's life.
AND these are what we are taking away. She can't begin to understand this process... I am worried a bit for her.
Sure, I know what you are thinking... isn't it going to be tough on your 3 yr old? Shouldn't you be more concerned with him? True! He also has no idea what we are doing. We are preparing to move him away from all that he identifies with, at an age when he can't conceptualize the future, and he relies on what he knows and understands to find peace in his days.
Needless to say, our nearly 13 yr old spoiled precious cat IS going with us to Chicago. And, I think our son will really need someone just as scared and apprehensive and unsure of the whole process as he is. I hope, in their own way, they will find security in the presence of one another.
