Moving to a new home is certainly an event that can cause stress not only for people but also for pets.
Therefore, it is the responsibility of every owner to know about the methods that can help the animal adapt to changes as quickly as possible.
Safe space
Set aside a small room or corner in your new home and place a litter box, food or water bowls, your pet's toys, and a bed there. Let this area become a "base" for your cat, from where she can gradually explore her territory.
Familiar smells
Don't rush to wash all of your cat's things when you arrive in a new place. Keeping familiar smells will help her feel safe.
Some owners even wipe the corners of the room with the cloth they used to pet the cat in the old house.
Daily routine
Stick to your cat's usual feeding and play schedule. This will help her settle in and feel stable in her new surroundings.
Time
Take your time: Give your cat time to explore the space. Don't force it, let it explore at its own pace. Some cats may need a few days to decide to leave their "safe corner" mentioned earlier.
