they've lived in the apartment with us since they were just a few months old and have only been outside around that environment...we've been living in the new house for just a few weeks and we're all nervous about letting them out to explore the back yard...QUESTION: how do we go about getting them used to the new yard without them running away to the old apartment??

Don't let your cats outside. The sad reality is that the chances one or both of them will end up dead from a car or a predator is extremely high. I learned this the hard way and very much regret it.

Growing up we moved a lot. We had the same cat the whole time. We would wait a week or so to let him get used the the new house. Then we would just open the back door & let him go at when he wanted to. Cats are smart. He will only venture as far as he wants. Leave the door open. Maybe even sit out back for a little while & let them explore. They may wander a bit- but most likely will find their way home!

Sounds as though she has many unresolved situation ensuing out of your divorce. She desires to return to words with why she is so disillusioned and indignant at you and something of the family contributors. do no longer blame your self, it seems which you have attempted stressful to make issues precise. She desires to renew taking drugs, bypass to counseling and artwork in the time of the themes. till she does that she will proceed having issues, no longer in ordinary terms with you and family contributors, yet in her different relationships as properly. i've got self assurance the superb component which you will do would be to cut back off all touch for a mutually as, and advise while she gets some counseling you would be chuffed to renew. it could be superb if the two one among you need to attend cousnseling at the same time.

Don't let them out till you get to know the neighborhood. Or they might eat something bad or get hurt by dogs or something. Even worse some angry neighbor might feed them poisoned food like I saw on news.

sounds silly but you will have to get a leash and escort your cats outdoors after they get used to being in the new house.
Look up your question on UncleMatty.com and see if they agree. It is a great website run by trainers for pet owners to get help with questions just like this.

My neighbor lets her cats outside and those darn things spend all their time on my front porch furniture. I am very allergic to cats, so basically I can't use my front porch. So do your neighbors a favor and keep them inside.

Please, please keep them inside. Cats live longer, happier, and healthier lives indoors where they can be kept safe from predators, contagious diseases (feline leukemia, FIP, etc.) and especially since they have adjusted to this indoor life. Besides, they might get lost if allowed to roam (it has happened to me and it is awful to lose sleep at night wondering how and where they are). Please do keep them inside. Your vet will agree with me. Best wishes.
