Hi! I just found this site...there's so much great stuff here! I'm the proud "mommy" of Ivy- a 9 week-old gray Tabby I found in an Ivy pot outside my parents' Louisiana home. She was so malnurished that she was not much more then a pair of eyes and ears. One look at her and my heart was her's. She was 5 weeks old then. She's such a wonderful kitty (we are working on a biting problem, though). 2 days after I found her my new husband and I drove 1300 miles to our new home in California. She did SO well, never complained about riding. I even litter box trained her in the rented moving truck; by letting her roam (WELL supervised!)
I read that cats love routine. Well, my husband and I both work- he travels quite a bit, and I rotate days and nights every few months. Any suggestions to help her cope with these changes? Another cat isn't an option- the monthly pet "rent" we pay for one is so high! Those biting issues I wrote of earlier started about a week after we got to our new place-after I went back to work. Aside from that, she's adjusted so well; I'd just like to do all I can to prevent problems.
