How do I make sure my cat behaves in my new home?
Wednesday, January 21st, 2009My cat Isis is grown, has had her litters and has been fixed for several years now. When we first got her, she was a kitten and the only animal in the house; later, my brother brought in a puppy, and while they get along great, the dog is not very good at not releaving himself in my mom’s house. This seems to have rubbed off on my cat.
I’m moving now, and bringing just my cat into my new home, which I really do not want destroyed by her urinating inside. Last time I brought her to my new apartment for only a week, she peed on my roommate’s laundry and her beanbag chair, despite having a clean and easily accessable litter box.
Basically, I’m not sure what to do to ensure that my cat’s transition is both positive and safe, and that my new place won’t become a place I dread going home to. Of course the basics, I’m aware of: keep her litter box clean, away from loud noises, somewhere private and easily accessable. Does anyone else have any suggestions on how I can make sure my cat does not repeat her fiascos at my new home? This house has never had animals, so she will have no old stains to find and attract to, thankfully.
I’m desperate! Please leave your suggestions!
Billy
