Hi guys! Welcome back to the channel it's Claire and Rags and as you can see Rags and
I have finally moved into our new home. Now with moving with a cat there are
going to be some troubles and some issues now I've talked about packing
with a cat and a travelling with a cat and this week and me and Rags are going to be
talking to you about how to help your cat to adjust to their new home. Now obviously
this new environment for everybody - you and your cat, but it might
be a bit more difficult for your cat to adjust correctly and to feel safe in the
new environment. So Rags and I have a few tips for you today to help your
cat feel safe and happy in their new home. Now first of all patience is key now
I feel like I use this tip for a lot of things when it comes to cats, but it is
absolutely true. Your cat will do whatever they want when they want and
at their own pace it may take a few weeks for your cat to fully adjust in a
new home so don't worry if your cat starts acting a lot skittish is a
little quiet use than usual. This is completely normal and they will get
better obviously if this behavior goes on for more than 6 weeks then
they might need a bit of attention from the vet. Secondly you have to keep your
cat in. Now this is the number one thing that that people tell you when you move
in a cat is to keep them in between two and three weeks especially if your cat
is one that likes to go outside. Now this might be frustrating for your cat and
for you because you'll have to listen to your cat complaining about being indoors
all day and but it is very important and looking dominum out at all this is
because your cat and it does have some heavy instincts so if they get out
before they're used to this home they might try and get back to their own
place or they might get themselves lost if they're feeling a little bit scared
of their new home. So it is important to keep your cat in so that they do eventually
see their new home as their new home now whilst your cat is indoors they will get
bored so to combat this boredom make sure there are a lot of toys
for them to play, give them a lot of attention a lot of grooming session a lot of
playtime. Thirdly your cat needs somewhere safe that they can go to. Now
the first two days that Ragsy was in this new house she spent it in my closet
now this isn't usual behavior for her but I wasn't worried your cat is in an
unfamiliar environment and needs to have somewhere where they feel safe and
comfortable. Now either let your cat find a safe space on their own - obviously
somewhere safe or you can create one you can use a box and one of their
blankets just make sure that is very near to their water their foods and
their litter box. And lastly if you can try spend some quality time with your
cat. Try spending a few hours of quiet time with your cats - just you and them
ma be give them a groom or place play with them or just sit somewhere
quiet. In a new environment you and your family are the only familiar thing to
them so you are going to be a big source of conflict and security for them. So if
you spend some time with them it's going to make it a lot easier for your cat to
adjust to their new home. Thanks for watching guys I hope you found these
tips useful now if any of you guys are moving house with a cat and have any
