Moving cat away from his home to an apartment. How to make it easiest? General Dog Discussions
I have had my cat for about 11 years and he is an indoor cat. He has lived in the same house his whole life. I wasn't able to take him with me for the first couple years of college but next year I will be taking him with me to my new apartment. I had some questions about moving him.First, he lives with another cat and a dog and I would be taking him away from them. He doesn't really seem attached to them or anything, they chase each other around mostly, but I was wondering if that would affect him much.Second, I go to school about a 7 hour drive away from my house. How should I transport him? Should I maybe go move in a couple days earlier and get settled in and then have my parents bring him up a couple days later after all the commotion has stopped?How long should I keep him in a room separate from everything else? Should I leave him alone to explore for a while before I go in to sit with him?Third, if there are any other tips you may have I would really appreciate them. He is relatively old and I want to make sure to keep him as least stressed as possible for such a big change.
