I have three cats and we have moved four times with them... the last move was across country. They will cling to each other and to you.. you are their security and the only thing they know in the new place. They will enjoy discovering the new place and will do better than you think.

I have moved with my cat (8 years now) 4 times incl. to another city. She adjusted herself pretty easy, she only had to sniff to every corner aand ward - cupboard of the new house to leave her gland. take them with you when you move.

Cats do not like to have to change, but they will if necessary. Just be prepared for the transition period (they may get really upset and start to piddle on the rug~just use enzymatic or bacterial urine remover).

Leave draperies open so cats can sit and look at surrounding area before they just bolt out into an unfamiliar place. Then just leave door open on nice day and let them go on their own, if theyre outside cats. Otherwise, they are game for most moving experiences as long as you consider their well being. 2 yrs. isnt considered moving too much, in my opinion. You are their world, bring along something familiar and comforting to them. Introduce them after you are mostly set up as well, less confusion.

One adjusts fairly quickly and well, while the other tends to be timid for about a month. Ultimately, no matter where you go, as long as you're there with them, they will be fine. I have a really huge carrier (actually, my carrier is for a dog), but I put them in there together when I need to cart them around. This may cut down on their stress if you can keep them together instead of separating them during your move. Bottom line is, all cats are different and will react differently. The trick is being the loving and understanding 'parent' you are and allow them to adjust on their own. I have 2 cats and have moved several times with them.

The moves won't harm them. Rather, they may find it stimulating to explore new surroundings. My wife's cat has moved several times. But when he moved here, a house with a yard, he found his favorite place. Used to be when she would come to visit she would bring MOTH with her (that's his name). He eagerly got in the car to come here but fought hard not to go home. I'd say it was good for him. Cats are very versatile and flexible. The moves won’t harm them.
