What should I do with my cat in new home?

[Kazzarooney]

Hi, I wondered if anyone could give me any tips please. My cat Tilly was a stray that I sort of adopted she is about 10 now . She was a very outdoorsy cat and only came in for food and left, she could be quite affectionate when she choose to be but wasn't keen on being picked up or stroked and didnt like being kept in. We went on holiday this year and I put her into a cattery for 2 weeks because I couldnt get anyone to come and feed her (which I have done before) so she had her jabs, and was a real charmer with the vet (even tho I warned him she would hiss and scratch) she went to the cattery and we went away. Now its seems that I have a totally different cat, she is lovely , has her favourite spot under the radiator and likes to stay in overnight. My worry ...will she use a litter tray when I keep her in for a couple of weeks when we move. I would hate to let her out and lose her now. I assume she did at the cattery but to be honest I didnt ask because I didnt want to look like a crap cat owner !! Thanks for any tips.

Im not in your same situation but I only had to put my kitty in the litter box 1 time and he has always used it since.

Hi Kazzza I am sure she will use a litter tray[ she will have been using one in the cattery] I would be inclined to leave her in for three weeks to be on the safe side.She has realised what a good home she has got and will settle ok with you.Make sure when you move that she has a window to look out of it will help with her surroundings.Good luck hope everything works out ok for you and your kitty.g.

Cats are usually very good about that sort of thing and if she knows there's a box there she will probably take to using it very quickly. Good luck with the move.

Also make sure she is hungry the first time you let her out.
