Set up one room for the first day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leaving a cat to roam about the entire house on its first day can be overwhelming for it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s best to set up just one room for them with possessions they\u2019re familiar with, so they can get used to it slowly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019ll also reduce the chances of kitties with a case of the zoomies from bolting straight out of the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before bringing the cat into the house from the car, make sure the room is set up with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Blankets or bedding (ideally ones with their scent on it\/they\u2019ve used before)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Water bowl<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Food bowl<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Litter tray<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any other possessions of theirs, like a scratcher and toys<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Keep the cat in the same room<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bring the cat carrier into the room you\u2019ve set up straight from the car and close the door. Open it and <strong>let them venture out of the carrier in their own time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leave them alone in the room or stay with them. Try not to make any loud noises around the cat for a few hours to prevent scaring them, since they might be on edge. This can delay them settling in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep the cat in the room for a few hours or a couple of days depending on how comfortable they seem. If they scratch at the door excessively, open it so they can explore with your supervision<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try not to let the cat explore the rest of the home unless it\u2019s relatively quiet outside of the room. For example, there\u2019s no drilling, unpacking boxes, renovation work, moving large appliances, etc. taking place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background has-link-color wp-elements-c6c01e836dcf438d043b4944accab5fa\" style=\"background-color:#faeee3\"><strong>How to keep an eye on your cat at work after moving<\/strong><br><br>Keeping a cat in one room of the house initially is the best way to make sure they feel settled. When leaving the house for work in the days after moving, the door should be kept closed if the cat appears anxious.<br><br>Use <a href=\"https:\/\/alfredcamera.app\/store\/blog\">the AlfredCamera app<\/a> to keep an eye on your cat when you\u2019re at work.

Slowly move possessions around<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The eventual goal is to make your cat comfortable in the entire house, not just one room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After around a week, <strong>start expanding their territory to other places in the new home<\/strong>. Move the litter tray out to where you want it and show them where it is. Do the same with their food and drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can even start to move toys or other things they\u2019re fond of to other spaces. Eventually, cats will find comfort in the entire new home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Let the cat explore in their own time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cats are independent and curious animals. As all cat owners know, they like to do things in their own way and on their own time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s best to let them explore the new home in their own time. Once they feel safe and comfortable, they\u2019ll naturally start exploring more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you think they need some encouragement to explore the rest of the house (i.e., it\u2019s been several days or even weeks), <strong>try leaving treats around the home<\/strong> for them to sniff out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/ClYGoT8JY-3\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/ClYGoT8JY-3\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/ClYGoT8JY-3\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/ClYGoT8JY-3\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View this post on Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/ClYGoT8JY-3\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A post shared by AlfredCamera: Simple Security at Your Fingertips.

Create safe snuggle spots<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a cat feels scared, they might hide. Keeping them in an empty room won\u2019t give them anywhere to go when they feel unafraid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, if you don\u2019t create comfort spots for them, they\u2019ll inevitably make their own, which could be in less than ideal places.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, it\u2019s best to <strong>give the cat safe places for them to huddle in when they feel afraid<\/strong>, like a cat bed or a blanket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feel free to leave out cardboard boxes from the move. Cats love to curl up in boxes because it makes them feel safe and protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Leave their toys around<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When moving home, the property doesn\u2019t normally feel like home until your possessions have been unpacked and you have all your stuff around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cats feel the same in this respect, becoming a little uneasy unless their stuff is around.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When moving, <strong>make it a priority to unpack some of their things<\/strong> and leave them around the home. If you can, <strong>don\u2019t wash them immediately before moving<\/strong>, because the scent of home is important to them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/CjW8FUrpAM3\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/CjW8FUrpAM3\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/CjW8FUrpAM3\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/CjW8FUrpAM3\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View this post on Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/CjW8FUrpAM3\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A post shared by AlfredCamera: Simple Security at Your Fingertips.
