With the two that stay with me, I'm kind of like most here that have two. Bogus would prob. adapt to someone else quite well. Yogi on the other hand would lay in the window until I came back or.......I don't know. My hubby says whenever I'm gone thats all he does even for hours until I return...I would be worried sick If I ever was alive and knew he had to be placed somewhere permanently without me.....eew, it brings tears to me eyes thinking about this one
