Top five tips for moving house with your cat – by Vicky Halls, Pet Behaviour Counsellor

To help your house move go smoothly, follow these top tips:

1. On the day of the move, shut your cat or cats into one room that has been cleared, leaving food, bedding, a litter tray, one piece of furniture in / under which he/she can hide and the travel box. Make sure that the removal team knows that the door to the room must be kept shut to avoid him/her going missing at the last moment

2. If you have access to the property before the removal van arrives it is helpful to plug in a Feliway Diffuser to make your cat feel more comfortable when he/she arrives

3. Try to unload one room first. Here the cat can be shut to rest and recover from the car journey while you sort out the rest of the house

4. When you first allow your cat outside, it is best to choose a weekend when you are at home and let him/her out just before meal time

5. Ensure your cat is micro-chipped in case he/she gets lost
