Wow, I don't know about that one.

I think the cats in general would be happier with you, unless there is
someone they know and love that will be living at your first home while
you're gone. If it's empty and you'd just have someone come in to feed
-- I'd try to take them with you. I'm sure they will get used to it
eventually. I wouldn't feel comfortable with them alone for half of
their lives. It would be easy to miss any illnesses or slight changes
that indicate a health problem.

Good luck to all of you,

Rhonda

Me and my partner both work from home and are considering buying a
second home (actually a flat) which we intend to travel between on a
weekly basis - one week in one place another in the other. All we need
to work is an internet connection so it would be quite feasible.
However, we have two cats. So we want to know if they could get used to
travelling. I've searched using google and found many people saying
that they have had no problem travelling between homes with cats. No
one has said whether it is something cats can get used to, though. From
experience of taking our cats to the vets we know that they don't
travel well. After a few trips would they get accustomed to it? The
trip would be around two hours. When taking them to the vets they
usually whine throughout the five minute journey, would they do that
for two hours every time we travelled? If so are there alternatives?
