HOW TO MAKE CHANGE WITH CATS

Pets are like family: when you move, you will have to take them with you. Unfortunately, pets are also like children - you have no idea how they will react to change until it happens.

Even though cats have a reputation for being generally calmer than their canine counterparts, it's important to prepare to move with them. Due to the stress of moving, being able to safely control and transport your cat will help make the transition to the new home easier. Reduce your cat's anxiety

The first step in preparing to move in with cats is to calm them down. Like humans, cats can experience a lot of stress and anxiety during a move. Communication can suppress anxiety, but it depends on the circumstances of the change, your cat's personality and your own feelings about the change, after all they feel everything. You know your cat best, and you can judge whether he will respond well to these tips:

Place the carrier a week before moving day so he can smell it. If your cat is used to riding in a carrier, great! If moving day is your cat's first time in a crate, it will be even more stressful for him - and for you. So start getting used to it before the change date. Leave the box nearby for him to smell and interact. Another tip is to leave the custom carrier for your cat. Placing a scented shirt in the carrier during the move, or a toy your cat likes, can help him feel more comfortable and secure. They won't be so confused about what's going on, because at least they'll know you're there with them in some way. Aww!

This may include giving your cat the necessary vaccinations at a specific period of time before your move. So plan ahead!

Talk to your vet first, especially if it's a big change. Visit your veterinarian to discuss the safest transport strategies for your pet. Your vet may even recommend that your cat fast before a move or not drink too much water.

Keep the kitten contained. If you have hired a transport company such as Irmãos Vieira, make sure the cat is kept in one room while the transporters do what they need to do in another room in order to prevent the cat from getting underfoot or getting out. running through the door.
