Renovations and Pets: Suggestions?

[kuhio98]

If your remodel goes anything like our remodel, I can guarantee you that one of contractors in your house will leave a door or window open and endanger your pets.

We shut the cats up in a room downstairs with plenty of food and water. We put huge signs on the doors saying DO NOT ENTER! And yet, they did.

Find a room that you can lock. Duct tape the door shut. Anything you can think of to keep people from entering that room. 'Cuz most of us don't seem to read these days..............

I hope that everything will go well and that you can keep all of your furkids safe. When I had new bathroom and kitchen floors put in, I was lucky enough to be able to take all of my cats to my parents house for the day so I had no worries. My dad kitty sat them while my mom stayed at my place to help supervise the installer.

The main job only lasted 2 days but the installer screwed up on my master bathoom floor so he had to come back later and redo it. This time I stayed home with my cats in the living room and everyone was fine. Sky is my very social cat so I did have to make sure that he didn't get in the installers way. Good luck.

SIGNS, excellent thanks so much Phred and everyone else who said that.

Due to the electrical work, every room in the house and also the cellar are going to involved at some time or other.

I already made sure I have collars and ID tags for everyone, too.

Realized last night (as I was down there for this purpose) that the cellar is currently not cat friendly. I've been selling furniture and all the odds and ends have been piled up down there. No second floor, thanks for that thought as well.

The "stuff" in the cellar needs to be packed for the church yard sale next Spring, so it isn't going anywhere soon.

This is all very helpful, thanks everyone!
