I just had to split the cats in my divorce. Mine has been yowling in empty rooms and he’s clearly showing signs of depression (not eating as much, sleeping more, etc). My ex’s has apparently been searching the new house for days and gets sad when he can’t find me or my cat. They definitely have a sense of loss and vary in how they cope with it
I don’t know how bitter the divorce has been, but is there any way the cats could move from house to house together? Or would you risk losing them both entirely.
It’s very amicable but we’re also moving a fair distance away from each other. One of them also hates the carrier and screams like a dying banshee, pees all over himself, it’s ugly

The obvious solution is one gets the cats full time and another gets new cats.
Yeah it sounds like they had a bonded pair. As much as it sucks, this is the best option for them.
Oh yeah, I guess you’re doing the best you can.
My vet gave me gabapentin for one of my cats because she gets so stressed out going to the vet. Sadly, she has go regularly because of her issues.
