Any advice to help my 2 cats with moving and settling them into our new home?

We are going to be moving soon.





I wonder if anyone has some advice as to help them with the stress of moving (strangers coming in and out of flat, noise and choas etc) and settling them into our new home?

If they're indoor cats, you shouldn't have too much to worry about, so long as they don't find a way outside. You might want to be sure they are microchipped, just in case. Maybe start them off in a small bathroom or bedroom, with a few of their favorite blankets and toys to keep them calm and happy?Any advice to help my 2 cats with moving and settling them into our new home?
Hi there,


I have 9 cats (rescued im not mad cat lady lol ), but i have moved twice recently and it does stress them quite a bit. However the good news is they will come round quickly. When you are moving, try and keep one room of your new home free to keep the cats in when your stuff is being moved in. Take your cats in 1st, before removal men start off loading and lock them in that room until all the noise has stopped and strangers are gone. Put a blanket/duvet/jumper or anything with your or your partners smell on, in the room with them. Any toys or scratch posts beds etc should also be put in the room with them. I also put a cardboard box in the room, with a little hole only they can slip into, which worked wonders as they just hid through all the noise. Once everyone goes, go in with a treat, n use your 'mamma voice', ( i know you'll have 1 lol), and they will start to come out to investigate. Once they start having a look around and see and smell all your stuff they will start to chill.


Good luck, and hope the move goes well for you, and your lil furry 1s!
Well they may not like the noise so put them in a room with a food bowl and a water bowl and a litter tray whilst you are moving things in. When they are inside they need to gert used to the house...when we moved, one of my cats sat in a corner and wouldnt move...until she needed the toilet and was getting hungry. They need to learn their boundries of where they are allowed and where they are not...but let them see the whole house before so they can get used to it and then pick them up and take them out so they know that they are not allowed...then keep this up until they know that they are not allowed!


Hope this helps and good luck with moving house!

Get some of those Feliway diffusers. It puts off a scent that really calms them down and mellows them. When we moved, we put about 6 around the house. They really worked. They aren't cheap though.
Keep them both in a closed room, with their litter tray, until all activety has ceased.
