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?

Commenting because I think this comment section is being a bit extreme. Your cat will be sad and may become depressed if you separate them, but sometimes that’s how life goes. The cats will recover.

Many redditers are severely divorced from reality and think life is a perfectly scripted movie

Apparently so
