Make sure he knows where the litter box is. He (or she) will continue to use it if he's already been trained to.

After reading all the other answers, I decided to give my opinion to help you make moving your cat into it's new home without buying butter, closing off other rooms and making something natural and easy into a multitask agenda. You need to start with the basics..how long did it take me to get kitty to poop in the first litter box? even though all the confusion and hustle and bustle of the move is going to be stressful on everyone including kitty, just put your cats same litter box in the same room that it was in at the old house, show him or her the box and letting it smell it and presto! one house trained kitty cat. that should do it. PS... it would be best if you moved kitty last due to all the in and out, banging doors,closets and cabinets etc.

Well, start out by just giving the cat a little area to get to know. The cat will be afraid of the expanse of the house at first. Close it off in one bedroom (yours preferably). Put things in there that will have a familiar smell to him/her.
Once the cat has mastered that domain, it can venture out and explore the terra incognita (unknown territory) that is the rest of the house. Then it can return to the refuge of the small room after exploring the new lands.

If you mean how do you help the cat adjust, put a little butter on his front paws. He will lick the paws, and his scent will become familiar in the house. you won't be able to detect it, but it accelerates the natural process. All of the other suggestions are very good as well. All of us who are cat lovers know how stubborn and irritated they can be when adjusting.
Good luck with your move.

I agree with Vicki. It is important for several reasons to keep your cat in a small area before you let them roam the entire new house. Try to confine them to the area you will be keeping the litter box. Take them out slowly, supervised, and let them explore the house. Afterwards, put them back in the small room you have selected. Wait until you feel comfortable giving her the house to roam.

bring the cat into the new home and let cat settle in and check out the house.....the cat will adjust on its own, keep the house quiet and all will be ok

He should still be house trained from the old house, just show him where pee and all that stuff there is no quick way. i don't think
