Question

I just moved to a much bigger place last Wednesday. Mr. Spunky refused to go anywhere in the new place unless I was walking with him. He would scurry back to the bedroom when I left. Sams was a little better, but not much.

Now things are back to normal.

Maybe a little Bach's Rescue Remedy in his water to take the edge off? A 12 year old cat doesn't like his routine disrupted.

Thank you so much guys. He was up wailing at 3:30 this morning. I got up and held him then layed on the sofa with him. He didn't wanna lie down, just lick me and give me headbumpies. Finally he went to the loveseat and layed down and I gave him more kissies goodnight and went back to bed. Thank goodness I got out there before the whole house was up again.

We moved in on July first. And actually the first week or so, he seemed to be fine. LOL The only thing is that i can think of is our dog is not there. We can't have her at the new apt, so she is at a temp foster (my daughter visits her every day). The least comes up in April and we are looking for a house so we can bring Nina home too! yay!

I bet that is it. He's missing the dog. Even if they weren't best of friends I still think a missing family member will really upset a cat.

I really don't know what to do about that. I really can't take him over to see her because there is another dog there (which is wonderful for Nina) but it will freak Chuck out. I wonder if I can take a blanket over and let Nina sleep on it and bring it back and if that will make Chuckie feel better?

I think the blanket idea would be worth the try. If it helps maybe you can get a full night sleep.

Well he is sleeping better. He was a good boy last night but I stayed up watching TV late too. LOL
But sleeping in till at least 5:30 is better than 3am!
