Helping Cats Adjust to a New Home
I’ve beent hinking about how I can make my cats most comfortable in their new home when we get there in a few days, and I think I have a couple of ways to help reduce their stress. I hope so, anyway!
First, I am going to make sure the cats have familiar things in the new apartment, such as their beds - they LOVE their beds, their food and water bowls, their favorite toys, and so forth.
Second, I am going to give my cats extra love and attention in the new apartment for a few days or weeks. I think the extra love and attention will help them feel less stressed in an environment where they feel stressed.
Finally, I will stick to the cat’s normal routine to help them feel more secure in their new home. Cats love routines and don’t appreciate when routines are changed. So, I plan to keep their routine the same - feeding them at the same time, going to bed at the same time, playing with them at the same time, etc.
I hope taking the time to give my cats extra love and attention, keeping their routine the same, and having familiar objects in their new environment will help them adjust to their new home. I will keep you updated on how it goes!
