to all the abers that helped me with their advice. We took the cats round to the new house and on the 2nd day there 1 of the cats went out the other 1 just stayed by the door. !st cat went and sniffed ariund and came back about half an hour later. Happy to say both cats have settled in nicely and seem to like their new place. Thanks for all your great advice
After me posting the house update one of my cats has gone missing. He is a bit of a wanderer but he has been gone nearly four days now. He has never been gone this long before. Been back to our old house which is just round the corner but no sign of him there. Hopefully he will turn up soon.
