You know how stressful a move can be, and now imagine how your
cat can feel on seeing you packing boxes and movers wrapping the
furniture and taking it away. Cats are territorial animals and
feel the change of environment much stronger than dogs. So for
the happiness and safety of your pet, be sure to spare some of
your time for him during the move. One of the best ways to
reduce you cat's stress on a moving day is regular communication
with him throughout the whole process of the move. Here are some
practical tips to lessen the shock of the move for your cat and
for you.
The simplest solution to make the move smoother and ensuring
that the cat won't escape amid the confusion of the move is to
board the cat in a cattery close to your new home, provided you
are moving locally. If you don't

have such an option than here
are the steps to make your move as painless for the pet as
possible.
Prepare the carrier for you cat. It should have good ventilation
and strong body. Get your cat used to it before the move day.
Usually cats associate carrier with unpleasant things like going
to a veterinarian or to a groom. That's why it is better to
change this association to a more pleasant one, for example by
putting there some treats for your cat. Putting a little blanket
or something else from the house you are moving out inside the
carrier would also make your cat feel secure and at home.
Prepare the id tag for you cat and ensure that your pet wears it
during the whole move period. Put the name of your cat, your
telephone number and the address you are moving to. Make a

of the cat before the moving day in case your cat gets
lost during the upheaval of the move.
On the actual day of the move out lock your cat in an empty
room. Make sure that the moving men won't come in there for any
boxes or furniture. Cats usually don't like any confusion and
disruption in the household that's why they sometimes prefer to
leave home and run away, therefore the door to the cat's room
should be locked and have a "Don't Open" sign. Put all the cat's
belongings in there and don't let the movers load them in a
moving van - it would be better if you take it on your own.
In case you are traveling to your new home by car, do some
preparation regarding your cat. Get it gradually used to a car
by making short trips long before the move day. Never leave your
pet alone in the

Before moving take all the health records of your pet from the
current veterinarian to transfer them to a new one. Find out the
pet regulations in the area you are moving in (you can use the
website of USDA

a move check with the veterinarian - he might prescribe small
doses of sedative. You get a word about using sedatives from
