Moving....
Have'nt been keeping up lately. I've been packing & dealing with pre-moving
logistics. So, I hate doing this, Blanket purrs for all who need them. CHRISTINA W.: You have been in my thoughts, I hope, pray & purr that things play out to a happy conclusion. Stay strong & positive. I have mapped out a general plan for moving the furballs, any advice on this topic is very welcome. This is the only home they've known, I know they will adjust, but, they have been my major concern in this project...The rest of it is just work & details... The move will consist of a 8 hour drive to the new digs, I'm gonna talk to TED about sedatives for the kitties... Should be an adventure! I will check in as much as possible, but I'll probably do more lurking than posting for the next several weeks. Warm thoughts to all -- Mathew Butler to 2 kittens: Chablis & Muscat En Vino Veritas |

good luck on the move, Matthew. Hope the furballs don't cause too much of a
fuss. Jazz and his mama -- Irulan from the stars we come to the stars we return from now until the end of time "Mathew Kagis" wrote in message news:MwLge.59233$HR1.26257@clgrps12...

You will have no idea if they are just sleepy or if something is wrong. If you can get a large enough carrier that you can put something small enough to use as a litterbox in, as well as small food and water dishes. Chances are, they won't eat or use the box the whole time, but at least it's there for them. Once you get to the new place, get them set up in one room and close the door. Proceed to move your stuff. Once you are fairly settled and won't be opening and closing the door frequently, let them out to start exploring. Don't be surprised if they hide. They might, or they may act like they've always lived there. You never know. -- -Kelly |

I've found that the sooner I get all the familiar furniture with familiar smells arranged in the new place, the quicker the cats settle down and feel like home. Purrs that all goes well with your move. I'm looking for a new place myself. I may just have found my dream flat, but I don't know yet if I'll get it. The estate agent is supposed to call me any day now. It's slightly smaller than the one I'm in, but it, too, has a glassed-in balcony, and an ocean view (at least partly). It's also right by a Metro station, and I could get into town in a couple of minutes instead of the half-hour bus ride I have to take now. Ooh, I'd love it, but we'll see. -- Marina, Frank, Nikki, and Mere marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki |

Hope everything goes smoothly for you and the Kitties Mathew
I was able to bring Henri here before I actually moved in' and we spent a day here together, you wont be able to do that of course, but I didn't let him out for a week, then he got desperate and pushed through the narrow opening of the laundry window it was the only one without a screen, and rather high from the ground, my son ran down to the garden to get him and I told him to show Henri how he could jump up to the veranda, and he used that entrance ever after Jean.P.

The move will consist of a 8 hour drive to the new digs, I'm gonna talk to TED about sedatives for the kitties... Should be an adventure! Good luck with the move. My two were not upset at all by coming to a new place, I could put most of the stuff in place before moving the kitties and I am sure that helped. Don't get sedatives for them unless there is no other way, I haven't heard a lot of good about sedatives with cats ... they might just get dozy but not really feel any calmer at all. Thea & Bono travels up north on a 10 hr drive a couple of times a year, they mostly sleep through the drive. I do give them a chance to come out of their transport cages to stretch their legs when I stop some times, Thea will walk around a bit before she sits herself in a window or go back in to the cage. Bono gets a little bit car sick and, I think, feels drowsy and don't bother to come out that much. They normally don't eat or drink during the drive, or use the box for that matter. I do provide everything for them at stops. Make sure not to feed before the drive if any of yours get car sick ... do bring change of bedding, paper towels and water if needed ... I think that letting the cats get acquainted with the surroundings, in this case the inside of the vehicle, is a good idea if at all possible. I try to keep the cats active the day before, playing and just up and about - they do sleep a lot anyway and always extra after an active day.
