Calling Cat people to help solve my problem
Discussion
Right, I have posted her a bit recently about my break up of my relationship. The next stage in my dilemm is my beautiful little cat, Jersey. She is 14 and my little angel. Currently she is the the flat with my ex, not getting much attention but does get a beautiful big garden to play in.
If she come to me she will be much loved hugged all the time but with limited access to a small yard (near a busy road at rush hour).
What do i do. I miss her so much but hate the fact she will not have a garden any more?
HELP!
EDIT: OOPS, JUST NOTICED THE TYPO IN THE TITLE!

at 14, she must be getting to the point where the garden is a nice idea but requires far too much effort for little reward. cat logic dictates the sofa is the best place to stay. you can always take her out for walks.
on the other hand, an old cat that goes outdoors a lot = recipe for huge vet bills for your ex. this might mean he gets rid of her to the local animal shelter.
your call. i had to leave my cat behind after a breakup and i do miss the furry little bugger.

Agreed, ours is about 15 and seems pretty content sitting about doing nothing most of the time, usually indoors. As long as she does have access to the outdoors (even if only a yard) I don't see the issue. Sounds like the cat's had a decent enough life so far anyway.
I ended up getting a mate to look after my 11 year old Siamese... simply because 'soon-to-be-ex' wasn't fussed.
Cat has gone from house and garden to flat and no garden but I get to see him and he gets love and attention...he's happy.
and I'll take him back when I get my own place... not ideal. But better than the alternative.
In summary: get your cat

Hey Shirt, your book never turned up!somehow i'm not surprised, have had a lot of mail 'undelivered' from work recently. it'll turn up when they feel like going to the post office i guess! recently single and cat-less, an afternoon crafting a papier mache penis is just what you need!
Take your cat back home with you, the only way you'll know if she settles is to try. My 14 year old only goes out for 10 mins at a time a couple of times a day, he is very playful but enjoys his home comforts too much (not too toilet, he saves that for the litter tray!) I couldn't leave him behaind and I don't think you can either.
In my opinion there is only one answer, she should be with you.
