Moving house with a cat – how did you manage it?

We're moving to Dachau soon and our cat is coming with us, of course. She's unfortunately quite sensitive to change and I'm a bit worried about moving day. Does anyone have any tips on how to make moving house as stress-free as possible for a cat?

    Hi, You could perhaps set her things aside so you can set them up as soon as you arrive in your new home. It might be best to have her stay with someone else during the move so she doesn't have to deal with all the hustle and bustle of moving in and getting settled. If you can’t arrange for her to stay elsewhere while you move in, you could try getting her carrier ready first thing in the morning with a blanket inside so she has a safe spot to hide if she needs to. If possible, and if she’s affectionate, try to have someone stay with her during the most stressful moments. You could also talk to your vet about some temporary anti-anxiety medication and ask if they have any other suggestions for dealing with this. Best wishes, Laura
