How to Move an Outdoor Cat

Moving to a new home can be challenging and stressful for you and your pets. Adjusting to their new sights, smells, and sounds in their new surroundings will take some time and you can expect that your cat will be stressed during the process and you will need to be extra mindful of their needs.

In Australia, there are no known natural predators for cats except dingoes and wedge-tailed eagles.
