Cats · by Noah Miller · 2026-10-06

moving day in 2 weeks, what's your least-traumatic plan?

One cat is confident, one cat thinks strangers mean the apocalypse. Movers, elevator, new apartment, different smells. Tell me what actually worked for you and what was useless.

Do the carrier practice now, not the night before.

Thank you, the bathroom strategy is sounding like the winner

If you can, set up one room fully before letting them roam. Bed, litter, water, something that smells like home.

Bathroom first. Put them in there before the movers start and do not open that door no matter how guilty you feel.

I moved across town with 3 cats. Used the old litter for the first day in the new place and it helped more than all the pheromone stuff.
