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.

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 picture

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
