After the move
Spend some time with your cat. Sit down quietly with it and provide
your cat with a comfortable living space. Make it feel at home. Cats
are very sensitive to their surroundings. Keep it in and around the
house for as long as it takes it to become acclimated. Confining the
cat may seem a bit cruel, but cats are notorious for running back
to its old house, no matter the distance. It may take an entire month
for them to become completely comfortable with the scents and floors
of the new house.
- Use your cat's food dish and favorite
toys to introduce it to each of the rooms. Confine them in each
room for a few days.
- After each room, test how comfortable
they are. When you open the door, see if your cat hurries out.
- Monitor your cat's behavior and
notice which room is its favorite. See which room it runs to after
you open the doors.
- Gradually shift your cat's food
dish, litter box, and bed to its permanent locations. Maintain
the normal feeding times.
Indoor Pets
If you are moving from the city to suburbs and you wish to introduce
your cat to the outdoors, do so gradually. Place your cat on a leash
and take it around. It may not be used to cars and other animals.
Keep a close eyes because your cat may become frightened by the outside
environment. |
