Hello!! I will soon be moving 12 hours away. I have 4 cats. Any advice on how to move them? 3 of them are older: 11, 14 & 15. Thanks for any advice you have!!

I broke up my trip into 3 days, 2 nights at hotels. Get them carriers. Get 3 disposable litter trays (1/day). Get lightweight litter. This will ensure they can use the litter box, eat, etc You’ll need to throw that out outside (take a little broom and bin, and a big garbage bag)
Mine stayed in their carriers the entire time they were in the car. Never left them alone - had SO with me. A/C was always on that way - it was summer.
Hilton brands are pet friendly.
Safe travels!

I didn't think about that! I couldn't afford hotels if I wanted to but hopefully they can!

If they're comfortable in carriers just make sure they have blankets and their favorite toy or something. Get a collapsible litter box to let them out every few hours. My suggestion is renting a van that's big enough for them to run around in and stretch their legs. They should be okay. I don't know if you have them harness trained or not but if you don't trust them outdoors I'd rent a van

One more thing - glad they didn’t run free because we got pulled over.

Are you moving abroad? If yes, I’d recommend a pet moving company. They are worth the money.

No not yet!! Just state to state 😊

Butter on their paws, keeps them busy. Ask vet for traveling drugs for them, keeping anxiety down. But when I have had to move my cats, my vet recommended to place butter on paws to distract them.

Butter on their pads? Or on top?

So I just moved states. I’m staying with a parent for a while in a pretty large house and my cat keeps hiding for hours on end (I think to snooze). Any thoughts? She’s spent time with me and I walked around with her while she explores. And she’s ventured solo. Seemed she’s warming up well. Except this again. I admit it’s giving me horrible anxiety that she won’t respond at all until I locate her because even I’m learning where things are and want her to be safe. This is the third time 😭
