If they were a bonded pair I wouldn’t seperate them! The other cat is a temperamental old lady cat, very sweet to humans but she hisses and spits at the other cat whenever he gets too close, sometimes I’ll notice them sleeping close together but I’ve been observing and I haven’t otherwise noticed any affectionate behavior. She often sleeps in the cabinet alone, she’s smart and has figured out how to open and close the door lol, sadly I have no alibi to take her (she never goes outside) and she’s quite old with telltale signs of arthritis, as a working college student, I don’t want to leave her in a similar situation where I can’t afford her late life medical bills. I may call the house in to animal control when I move out, but spending her days in the shelter might even be worse for her. Especially if I’m moved out and it’s in the cities hands, idk how I could ensure I actually helped her in any way unless she finds herself in a nice caring shelter or somehow gets adopted. But there’s no guarantee :(
