I moved this week. From a living in a room in a house with other room mates, to my own 1 bedroom apartment. Because my other room mates did not want to be bothered with my cats, all 3 stayed in my bedroom for literally 90 percent of the time that we all lived there.
The new apartment is HUGE, and its my mother's apartment and lease, which she is handing over to me. The move has been very stressful for me and the BF, but thankfully, the kitty's have been unphased. I moved the cats first, and put all 3 in one of the big closets in the apartment, and proceeded with moving in furniture and other things.
The condition of the apartment is: looks like a tornado passed through it. My mom still has a lot of her stuff there, which she is unfortunately taking her sweet time taking out, So i can't really unpack or set up until her and her hubby get everything (which i'm hoping is soon omg)
Every room in this house looks like a junk yard. just want to set the mental image here.
So the very first night I was there, I kept the cats with me in the bedroom only. Even though the bedroom is a mess with boxes every where, all 3 cats were very curious to explore, even my skittish girl Jet. She's found now hidey holes and she was relishing in each one. Yesterday I kept the bedroom door open, so that if the cats felt like it, they can explore, and also, I really had a lot of work to do so the door needed to stay open. I left the bedroom door, and the closet door open, so that if they wanted to go back to the closet they could. Charlie was the only one that bolted out of the bedroom the minute i opened the door and started to explore, sniff, jump up on, and play with his new surrounding. Jet and Gunther at first were being cat loafs in the closet, communicating with each other via slow blinking morse code. After a while, the other two ventured out of the closet, then out of the bedroom and onto the rest of the house.
Since then, i've literally only seen my cats twice...and both times is during feeding time -____-. no one is coming to me for pets, or cuddles, or loves....well maybe Jet, but i think she only did that because she was hungry. My cats are missing in my apartment and only come to me for food. i feel so used. lol
Aside from exploring, all 3 kitties are eating normal, and using the litter boxes just fine. its weird but i don't think i noticed any of the cats sleeping or napping like they usually do. They all seem very active, very curious, and are exploring their new home. Even Jet, which is shocking to me. She seems to have this air of confidence to her that I haven't seen before. She's the skittish shy one out of the 3. She however is the only cat that will come look for me from time to time, to see what i'm up to, or to see if i'm looking at her. She'll slow blink me and then she'll run off if I try to approach her.
Will my cats just be using me no for the rest of their lives? coming to me only for food? the BF hasn't move in with me, so I'm sleeping alone. And usually I don't care if I sleep alone because that just means that there is more space for me and the kitties on the bed, but i've slept completely alone last night. no BF and no kitties
