Infographic: How to Move to a new House – With Your Cat

Sheila, this is a great post and I will certainly share it in the future.   My move with a cat, 2 dogs and a Betta fish may have been easier had I only consulted you before the 1500 mile trip! 

I'm not sure I could move with any of my cats.  They would totally flip out if their home changed. But all of our animals are older and I think it will be years before we move.  The only thing in the advice that I totally disagree with is for their food and litter box to EVER be in the same room.  Not even for a day do I think that would be okay.

Does the authority allows one to carry one of those home made carry on lugguge to the plane and stuff in the overhead compartments?

Sometimes when I am stuck between Mr and Mrs Biggs on the plane. I feel I am not treated as good as some of these animals.

We are all in a tight sardine can together. Peanuts and pretzels are not considered treats.

I've moved twice with my cat - not easy. He was so stressed out and got sick when I put him in his carrier. I felt horrible, but I had no choice. Thankfully, he bounced back pretty quickly once he realized that all our stuff was in the new place. These are great tips - when I move again next summer, I'll be referring back to this infographic for some tips! Thanks for sharing!

Love your Infographic and it's one to share for sure.  

I suspect you will get pushback from the graphic about how to let your cat go outside. Indoor cats live longer and healthier lives. Whenever I move with my cats, I live them in a spare bedroom until I pretty much finish unpacking the house. Eliminates accidents due to stress.

Moving has been very traumatic for all the cats I have ever owned. This is great advice about how to prepare them before, during, and after. Love the pictures!

Thank you for sharing a great post very good information ineed 

Loved the infographic. I've personally moved with multiple cats nationally, internationally, locally-- and in my case, it's never been an issue and cats adapted well. 

I love the post. Thank you fo the infographic. I will share it with others.

That is a lot of kitty cat pointers for new homeowners with cats. Good job!

Sheila Newton Team -- Anderson & Greenville SC Real Estate - wow! Excellent infographics -- and have saved it for my clients with cats.

Thanks for sharing all the tips.

These are wonderful tips for people with cats. Pets can get stressed, just as people can. By the way, the picture with the cat peeking out of the carrier case made me laugh. That cat was not happy.

Good morning Sheila Newton Team -- Anderson & Greenville SC Real Estate ,

Great article with excellent tips for homeowners with cats. I'm saving it for clients of mine who have cats!!

Excellent Post!!  Thank you - I plan to share.

Good tips for moving with a cat. I would suggest getting the cat chipped and info updated as the First thing to do before a move. My other suggestion would be to give the cat an actual box. Cats love cardboard boxes. 

What great advice for moving with cats.

This is very good report on moving to a new house with a cat.
