OMG my poor baby, no wonder he is freaking out. I talked to my friend Emma who was good friends with the girl I got Corkscrew from. All 3 of his previous owners got rid of him while they were moving! And all of this was within a year because he was a little less than a year old when I got him. So now I'm sure that he thinks I will be getting rid of him seeing as how 3 people have already done this to him.
OMG the poor, poor darling!!! No wonder he is so distressed about the move! It's also quite astounding how cats are able to associate current events with what has happened in the past. Perhaps you can use his intelligence to alleviate the situation ... perhaps, while he's watching, packing his things all mixed up with yours? Or take him to the new place before you move, with a few of his things, and show him that this is where you're all going. It's a long shot ... and cuddles, treats and scritchies will work just as nicely. Good luck with the move.
