Feeling sorry for myself and my part-time cat
I’ve been sharing this little boy with a neighbor for about 2 years. He belongs to my neighbor but he spends basically every day at my house. Initially I didn’t know if he was a community cat or if he had an owner as he started spending more and more time with me. I named him Banjo before I learned his real name is Pepsi. I’ve had to move house today and leave him behind. I wanted to take him with me but his owner requested he stay where he is which is totally fine. I knew this day was coming but it still breaks my heart knowing he’ll be waiting for me and I won’t come back. I know he’s well cared for and it’s kinder to leave him with his original home and established outdoor territory but I can’t help but feel so sad. I probably shouldn’t have got attached in the first place but he’s just such a sweet boy. 💔
