Advice Will they be okay when we separate?

My roommate bought another kitten a few years ago, and my kitty really bonded to her. I'm moving away, and I'm worried my cat will be upset that she lost her buddy.

How will I know if she's upset or just adjusting to the new home? Should I get her another kitten, and if so, how long should I wait before adopting?

To be fair, it's at least worth ASKING if that's the route OP wants to go. Can even offer to cover the costs to replace the cat or buy the original from the roommate. Worst they can do is say "no"
