thanks for the info!

I get the keys on the 19th, but I won't actually move in that day if I want to paint and have the carpet(in good condition an nice color) cleaned first, before I bring the kitties there. I am going to bring Cassie first and let her tromp around, she isn't bothered by anything, and if the others smell her throughout the house it may make it easier on them. and I will be going back and forth to there so I will have some of my things there and my smell. hopefully that and the furniture(or some of it, so they don't get freaked around here) will comfort them somewhat. they will have their toys and food there too. and catnip for a moving in treat.
