HOW TO MINIMIZE YOUR CAT'S STRESS WHEN MOVING

If you have to travel on a plane with your cat، you need to decide on flying together in the cabin versus checking your cat into the plane's cargo area. If at all possible، travel together in the cabin، but be sure to check with your airline for their specific requirements. Make sure your cat's weight and carrier size meet the airline's specifications. The K&H Lookout Pet Carrier is potentially a good option because the small size meets some requirements. You will need other travel supplies، vaccination records، and a harness in case you have to take your cat out of the carrier for the X-ray screening.

If you're traveling with your cat in a car، it's a little easier but still requires some planning ahead. Find a good carrier، like the Travel Safety Carrier that secures to the seat and keeps your cat from moving while you drive. Take short trips at first to help your kitty get used to the drive. Pack travel supplies like a small litter box and portable water and food dishes، along with a harness.

Tell your cat in her language that the trip is safe with the Comfort Zone Calming Collar. It emits those calming pheromones and fits around your cat's neck and easily releases if she becomes entangled. Double down with the calming assistance and spray the Comfort Zone Spray & Scratch Control Spray in her carrier and on her blanket.

Moving with Outdoor Cats

If your cats are mostly outdoor kitties، you need to keep a few additional tips in mind for the big move. Make sure you have up-to-date vaccination tags and have registered their microchips online. Help your outdoor cats get used to a car-safe carrier by leaving it outside for a few days with your cat's favorite treats، blankets، or toys inside.

When you get to your new destination، keep your cat indoors for a few days or up to several weeks. She'll be very nervous by all the new sights and sounds، and you don't want her getting scared and running away.

Keep a comfy bed like the Thermo Outdoor Kitty House in your garage or other indoor room with your cat. You'll ultimately move your kitty and the house outside at the same time. Stay outside with your cat at first and bring her back in every night.2 Helping your outdoor kitty adjust to a move can be a long process، but it's worth the time to help her stay safe.
