Moving
Poor Meep. This morning, I stuck her in a room that she's usually
banned from, and when she came out, everything was gone! Movers came and packed us out. I didn't realize just how badly (and quietly) she's stressing, until the furniture was gone: The floors were just covered by cat hair! Looked like we have about 20 all black cats, and haven't vaccumed in months! Coulda stuffed a pillow with what I vaccumed off the floor. Before she ventured out, I did put all her stuff we still have back into the expected places - various water, food, bedding, but there isn't much. She won't play unless I'm at the other end of the toy, so the fact that most of her toys are gone isn't such a big deal. I'm sure she'll be complaining tonight that her tree is gone though - she spends most of her waking hours and some of her sleeping ones there. So, more Feliway spray for the poor TravelCat. Any suggestions on how we can help keep her stress level down during this time that's so stressful for all of us? We're living in an empty house for a week, then we go live in a strange place for a couple of weeks, then she goes to a cattery for a month, then a plane flight, followed by a 30 day quarantine. Our adventure doesn't end until mid- June, when we'll all finally be reunited. jmc |

Where are you moving? Will you be able to visit her at the cattery and then while she's in quarantine? Will she be caged during those times? Yikes, it does sound stressful...for all of you. Candace |

Oh, yea, I'll certainly do that. I'm sending the veterinary food with
her, since by definition she'll be stressed and prone to an attack. Actually, I think she's doing quite well, perhaps she remembers from before. She's been very calm and not terribly clingy, which she gets when she's stressed, despite the echoingly empty house. jmc |
