| Cats can be especially difficult. They tend to become more attached
to their environment rather than to people. Cats prefer a routine
rather than novelty. For example, note the way they blanch when their
food dish is moved to another room. Before the move When relocating with a cat, it is necessary to prepare early in advance so the move doesn't come as a shock. Shower your cat plenty of attention and maintain its normal routine. Cats may not be as familiar traveling in cars as dogs are. They're often frightened of car travel, but they adjust quickly. Several weeks prior to the move, it is recommended that you take your cat on short trips in the car around the neighborhood and then slowly increase the distance. Accustom your cat to being on a leash if you are driving long distance and have to make stops at hotels, etc. If your cat becomes overly and consistently agitated during the drives, perhaps you should look into mild sedatives. If you feel most comfortable confining your cat in a carrier, take all of the proper precautions to ensure its safety. Make sure your cat is secure in the car and doesn't shift or get thrown during a bumpy ride or it may sustain major injuries. If you are moving to an area with a different climate, for example, from Florida to Minnesota, it is advisable for you to consult with your veterinarian. Moving day Confine your cat in its favorite room with its food and water dishes, and favorite blankets and toys. This is to make sure that it won't run away or interfere with the movers. Cats can become agitated when they see the house in disarray. Don't let him out until you are ready to go. Do the same upon arriving at your new house/apartment. Immediately designate a room for your cat. Make sure that your cat is wearing the proper ID tags. See What to Pack in Your Pet's Suitcase See Traveling with Your Pet by Car |
