He just used it to sleep in once. Maybe kitty litter is different. hmmm, i'd say it is to cats!! lol Knowing my cat, I reckon he would just ignore it and want to go outside. Re: Tips for moving with pets? 18Dec 23, 2010 7:04 am One of my cats ran back to our old house a couple of times after we moved. Luckily it wasn't far so I could bring her back. By the third time I waited for her return and she finally did and hasn't left since, she was always a wanderer. My other cat never left the new yard at all. All cats are different, but both mine are outdoor mostly due to me being allergic. I'm dreading my next move as it's much further so I will have to keep my wanderer indoors for a couple of weeks. Re: Tips for moving with pets? 19Feb 04, 2012 3:32 pm Cats (in general) bond with their homes (as opposed to dogs who don't care where they are as long as they're with their family) which it is why it is recommended that cats stay indoors for a at least a couple of weeks so they can bond to the new home. We get flyers in our mailbox a fair bit from distressed people who have moved home & their family cat has subsequently disappeared. Its heartbreaking. We lost our kitten, Tilley, about a month after we got her. We spent all day shaking her cat food & calling her name around the house (she's an inside cat), then the garden, then all of the nearby streets. Nothing. So we made up some mailers with her picture on it & put them on power poles & doorknocked all the houses . By the end of the day we had half of the neighbourhood out looking for her. We knew she was gone for good & that we were by far the worst people in the world. That night around 7pm we heard a faint scratching sound in the hallway. Little minx had snuck into the linen cupboard & buried herself under a pile of towels where we couldn't find her, so she could have a nice 8 hour nap (believe me, I'd looked in that cupboard at least 10 times). She only decided to come out because she was getting hungry. Least our boy cat comes when he's called. She still doesn't. Don't worry about your kitty losing his lollie (he'll get over it eventually), 'cause it aint nothin' compared to what you'll put yourself through if you lose him.

It's a pheromone diffuser that replicates cats familiarisation pheromones that come from their cheek area. Cats will rub their faces up against things wherever they feel safe and secure. So having the diffuser in the house makes them feel happy. I recently moved and used it for a month when we moved our Burmese who is a highly stressy cat, and he adjusted perfectly. I plugged the diffuser in a day or two before we moved him in and kept it running, in the room where we wanted him to spend most of his time (lounge room) Highly recommend it!! www.feliway.com/au Built the Seaview 36 with Rawson Homes - Read about it on my blog http://lamaisondemorgan.blogspot.com.au/ Hello everyone, I have a question regarding moving a chandelier after it has been mounted.
