Moving to a New House With Your Kitten
Cats don’t like new conditions and changes.
They’re also territorial so imagine how they must feel when they suddenly find
themselves in a totally different location. Heck, moving is stressful for men
so you can certainly understand how unhappy the whole thing makes the family
cat.
Even though a certain amount of stress
will undoubtedly be involved with a move to a new home, there
are things you can do to make the transition a little easier on the kitty.
The New Home
Cat proof! Go through the house and look for potential
dangers in your new place (window screens that aren’t safe, places where the
cat can get stuck,and ….) and make the necessary preparations so it will be a
safe home for your kitty.
Set up a sanctuary room for kitty so he’ll have a safe and
quiet place initially. Set up this room with some familiar furniture, his litter box, food and water bowls, scratching post, toys
and some hideaways. Since the house will be totally unknown, it will be less
overwhelming for cat to be confined in one room so he can get his bearings and
start to create some familiarity with new place.
