Me and my husband recently moved into a new flat with our two 13 year old kitties. We have had them since they were 6 years old and they have always been indoor cats, even with their past owner. Both kitties are in great health for their age exepct from heart murmurs.
Before this flat we lived in a 16 in a block flat and we were on the second floor, now we are in a cottage style flat which is four in a block but split up a bit like a house if you know what I mean? We are on the top floor and have one person below us and one beside us.
We moved in around 3 weeks ago almost and the cats settled within a few days with very little trouble or accidents. I have spoken to the downstairs neighbour a couple of times and he hasn't ever mentioned noise from us but I can't help but be paranoid about how loud my cats are, especially at night/early morning during their 'crazy hour' or jump down from a height. The entire flat is carpeted except for bathroom and kitchen which are both tiled. The old flat had solid concrete floors and now we have floorboards and can hear a lot from downstairs which only adds to my anxiety of what they can hear from us!
We are still in the process of unpacking but once its done I hope to get the cats a new cat tree and things like that but the thought of the sound of the jumping off it gives me fear! I know I am probably just being overly cautious and worried. The last thing I ever want to be is a bad neighbour as I have dealt with so many of them before and they made my life an absolute misery but even if we did get complaints about the cats, I would never get rid of them, they are my life. I am just looking for ways to try and keep the noise down if you have any? If any of you have ever lived in a flat with cats it would be great to hear from you
