Hiya

long day just got the cats in, they found the cat flap and cant understand why they cant get through it yet! LOL all fairly insecure but the cat chorus in the car on they way, I really wish I had a tape recorder !!

cant wait to get broadband up and running its like having your arm cut off

Remember that chip details need updating, easy to forget with all that goes along with a house move

Moving house with animals is always such fun. When I moved to NZ I had bought a car but it was not ready for collection, so I had to rent a car. Naturally they gave me the smallest compact known to man. Fitting three cat carry cases and a large (very excited) dog into such a small space proved ... shall we say interesting. It was a long drive home ... I am amazed I did not hear back from the rental people about doggy claw marks on the paintwork ...

Good luck with the move.  I remember when I moved here I only had 2 cat baskets (still have!) and had to beg, steal, and borrow cat baskets to get 10 or so moved LOL! I remember a couple had to double up.  Then the fun began trying to get them into my (small) car (along with all the usual last minute rubbish that ends up going in the car! - luckily my friend helped me move, so she could take some of the baskets in her car.

Best of luck with the move!


do try and keep them in as long as possible tho , it would be horrible for any of them to get lost.

well its come around quickly we are moving to the smaller house tomorow.

Cats much to their disgust are all shut in the house, one or two meows but fairly good, no escapes yet! I stuck a sign on the door for my hubby, do not let me  out (yes I drew a cat face)

just incase he forgets LOL

precision timing tomorrow, they all go to my parents, 4 to live in their bathroom whilst we do the move, and 2 to live in their bedroom LOL mums not too happy they will have 8 cats and 4 dogs but still its better than them going straight to the new bungalow and hearing all the moving and banging about, theyve been there before so know the drill.
Only worry is 5 cat carriers and 6 cats, the skinniest ones will go in together, and usually are ok except for a quick bat around thehead to sort who sits where.

Already got the cat flap installed, wondering what they will think going from country to estate, but they have lived on a busy main road before so Im hoping they will get th hang, theres a few feilds if they find their way to the end of the cul de sac. 

Trick will be keeping them in , I try the two weeks but realistically its about 2 days before they have to go for a wander, usually 1 disappears for a few days but I think as its more built up he might come home for comfort

Anyway thats enough of my rambling, I suppose I am a little nervous about our descision,but I hope they will find their place. We are in a lovely area here but the cats have less places to go as some Tom cats patrol and chase them back to our garden so who knows it may work out for the better, plus even though the garden is small  I get to landscape it all and make it kitty friendly
