Keep them inside until they adapt. I just moved and brought my two cats with me. Both pretty much just hid the first few days, and I let them do what they needed to do to feel secure. After about a week, they started getting back to their normal selves.
Make sure there are things around that they are familiar with - toys, furniture, just stuff they recognize from the old place. Try to be around yourself as much as possible to give them a little extra security. Give them time, and they'll adjust.

i moved from california to virginia with 3 adult cats.... but they are not outside kitty's they are leashed trained but that's it..... i traveled by car they were, 1 1/2 years, 2 years and 3-4 years, you must keep them indoors and in one room of your new place they will be very nervous. it really depends on the cat too, some cats adjust faster than others, but you should keep them isolated in your new home because scared cats will run and the last thing you need is one of them running out the door. if they are going to be indoor/ outdoor then you still should give then some time to get used to the house first then start with the outside but by keeping them in on area you can judge how they are doing and make sure everyone is eating and being social and you will be able to tell when there ready to roam about the house. i know most people feel bad or dont want the inconvience of having to keep them isolated but it's the best way to help get everyone adjusted to the new smells and surroundings, just like people get nervous when moving so does your cat !!!! good luck!!!! :)

it is important which you no longer pass away loose strings around to your cat to bite on. If a cat eats a string, piece of yarn, floss, or something like that, the string can case severe intestinal injury. in case you desire to make issues secure to your cat, newborn-info your house as in case you had a three-12 months previous newborn. which will guard maximum hazards. the subject the cat is having with the gerbil isn't certainly solved because of the fact it is instinctive habit to % to pounce on prey. if so the squirt bottle of water is your ultimate deterrent. The cat surely won't be able to stop on his own. that might assist you with the evening-time terror your cat has replace into, it may do him some stable to pass into the bathing room in one day. basically positioned all his stuff in there (clutter field, nutrition, water, mattress, toys) plug in a evening mild and pass away him there at evening. it may help to offer him some energetic play in the previous bedtime. you may get a "kitty tease" at a puppy shop or cat practice and permit him chase it around or bounce for it. yet another astounding workout is the "laser mouse". it is like a low-power laser pointer. The cat runs after the crimson dot and runs, and runs, and runs.... A drained kitty is far less probable to offend your neighbor. Your kitty appears like he has an surprising character and additionally you sound like an surprising proprietor!

We have moved very often and our cat didn't like the ride in the carrier in the car, but because she knew us she was OK.
When we got to the new place we took her out in a small room with water/litter and food. We just watched her and when she became curious we let her out and she was just fine as long as she had us.
Don't worry she has you.
And keep them inside.

I just moved my cat from baltimore to atlanta, she was weirded out and spent alot of time exploring because we moved from a one bedroom apartment to a three bedroom townhouse, so there was lots of territory to mark. Make sure you have their old stuff that smells like them like toys, beds blankets whatever and keep them inside they will get use to it eventually. Good luck

i think it depends on the cat. i have moved several times and it doesn't seem to faze them. but i do keep them indoors at first to let them know we are in this together and when they start feeling comfortable they are out and about. they are fixed so they never travel out of my sight. good luck.

your cats will be scared and probably hide for the first couple of days, but make sure you play with them and give them treats...and also put them in the litter box so they know where to go.
