Hmmmm. My incline would be to put your hamster`s safety before anything else. Even if it does mean keeping the cat out of your bedroom. If the hamster is already two years old, then it makes sense that he needs your attention more due to his age. Although he may slow down more anyway and sleep more as a consequence of that, but still be active during the night as hamsters tend to be. But then so are cats. If your saying the house is more open plan and the cat has free access to all the rooms, then your stuck unless you use your own room to keep the cat away.

Solomon will have to learn to some adjustments at least while you have Smudge. And yes, using a ball to transport the hamster is probably a safer way than just holding him as he could jump or bite. If his cage is big enough, he may not actually need too much time outside to run about unless he`s used to that routine. It would be a shame for him to miss out because the cat has arrived. x
