We are moving in just a few days and, being the worrier I am, all I can think is the cats will somehow get out into the new neighborhood and get lost. That's largely out of my control, of course, other than taking precautions with the doors and windows.
So, to ease my mind a little bit I'm creating little cards to give to my new neighbors with our names and phone numbers as well as a brief description of the cats. I think it will help if they know there are cats inside the home that shouldn't ever be outside for any reason, and hopefully they'll call us if they see them.
The cards look like this (our identifying info blocked out):
It will also be a good reason to knock on the door, say hello, and get their numbers as well. So I'm hoping it will be a win-win situation!
What is your experience with cats and neighbors? Have they helped you out before? Any of your neighbors hate cats completely?
