Cats are extremely sensitive to any form of change, including moving to a new home and experiencing new sights, sounds, scents, etc. Helping your furball through this transition period will go a long way in making sure that he adapts successfully to his new surroundings.

Here are some ways to help your cat through the transition period:

• Choose a room where the kitty will stay as he gets used to the new place. Make sure the room has been cat-proofed to prevent unfortunate incidents. Before you leave your cat inside the room, make sure there is already food and water bowls, cat bed, litter box, and some cat-safe toys. The room should be off limits to other pets in the household.

• Make regular visits to the room where your cat is in and bring along some delicious treats because this would help a cat have positive feelings about the place.

If your new kitty keeps on hiding and/or not eating, you should call your          Las Vegas, NV veterinary clinic.
