Hi all,
I have two cats aged 4 and 5. The 5 year old, Edie is a stray-turned house princess. My 4 year old, Humphrey on the other hand was adopted at 5 weeks and has always loved the outdoors. He wakes up at 6 am to go outside and comes home at sundown to eat, snuggle, and rest up for his next adventure.
I will be moving from a house in the redwood forest where he roams freely all day to an entirely new and different neighborhood. He knows our current neighborhood so well and he absolutely loves it. This place is a paradise for an outdoor cat like him and I feel horrible about moving him to a regular residential area. I am extremely worried that he will be terrified/confused/depressed to be taken away from his favorite place. I've read all of the tips and tricks for moving with outdoor cats but I would love to hear stories about experiences any of you may have had with moving with an outdoor cat. Anything to ease my mind that I'm not breaking his heart. Thanks so much in advance.
