In 2014 I made a 4000 mile move and then a 1200 mile one. That was with my last cat, the late Angel Kitty. Last year I moved 3200 miles, and Mattie came with me. It was never an option to NOT take my cat with me. It’s not that difficult to bring them along.

At Kittyland, we adopted out 3 kitties on the 24th and 3 on the 26th. I hope they stay with their families forever and weren't frivilous gifts.

The shelters around here will not let a military family (we are a big Navy hub) adopt animals, too many returned/abandoned.

They R our family...Be Fuckin' responsible for them!!!!!

Even just leaving kitty to fend for themself whilst you have a weeks holiday. Mine was with me for 22 years apart from necessary kenelling when I was in hospital. Travelling with her in the vardi was often amusing. When she was allowed to roam inside whilst I was driving she would frequently admonish trucks having the temerity to overtake on the highway.

When you move and can't take pet to your new home, you are morally obligated to either find them a new home or turn them in to a local shelter.

Happens too often.
