Introducing your Cat into a New Home |
|
|
Moving
house can be very stressful not only for yourself but for your cat. Some cats take
longer to settle into a new environment than others, but there are things you
can do to ease the transition.
Ideally,
give the cat its own escape-proof room equipped with bedding, a hiding place (under
a bed), food and water and a litter tray. A scratching-post and toys are also a
good idea.
It is recommended that you use ‘Feliway’ - a feline facial
pheromone diffuser (available from your veterinarian). When cats feel safe they rub their chin
against furniture and deposit pheromones, expressing a message of well-being
and security. ‘Feliway’ mimics the cat's natural pheromones and keeps them calm.
Be
patient. It can take quite a while until they feel comfortable enough to
venture into other rooms. Spend time with your cat during this period
of adjustment and try to maintain as much of a routine as possible.
When they seem secure and it is time to introduce them to the outdoors wait
until just before mealtime. Leave the door open so they have an
obvious way back into the house and stay close to them while they explore. Scattering
some of their used litter on the garden may help make them feel more comfortable.
