I have moved with my cats several times, and I always stress. It always goes well, so I really had no need to worry. I have never used movers, I do it myself except for the big stuff. The key is to start packing early and have everything ready to go out the door on moving day. I always move my cats last, and I try and con (err....convince) my helpers to do all the hard work so I can stay with my cats. Then when it is time to go, I get the cats in the carriers and away we go! They have always adjusted to a new move well, having all their old stuff set up in the new place seems to help.
