As part of our move / adventure, we have to do some difficult things. Saying goodbyes, clearing the house and of course giving up our jobs. However one of the most difficult was driving Tom, Millie and Marmalade to their new home. A home that wasn't with us.
Although we know it is best for them (can't see them doing the two day journey, only to be greeted by quarantine), there is noway they could take the temperature and climate. I'm still wondering how I will cope!
That being said it is still hard to leave them somewhere else.
Apron arrival at their new home Millie asserted herself by surveying the area and ensuring she knew her surroundings quickly. Marmalade trotted around for a little while before copying Tom, in hiding. Tom took refuge in hiding behind the fridge freezer. He would only quickly poke his head out for a treat, before retreating back to his hiding place.
After spending a couple of hours settling them, seeing them become a bit more relaxed we made our way back home, without our kit-e-cats.
It still seems strange not to have to close the kitchen door at night to keep them downstairs, to see them in the morning, waiting to be fed and released (cat flap opened). Fortunately we are able to see them a few times before we leave which is great, as we can see them really settle into their new home.
We are going to miss our 3 amazing and very 'special' cats sooo much. But worry not cat friends, we will Skype you!
Love you Tom
