I hope they remember to take my Urinary Care and my KIBBLE!!! Maybe I’ll pack that on my own.
Mama speaking here: We move around a lot and I received this from a website owner who had some good ideas about moving house with your kitty, even though when we move little Loulou around, she just relaxes in the car, travels with us on the ferry, and then settles in pretty well at the other place.
That said, it is because of many of the reasons this website cites such as having a room ready for your pet and some familiar things around, and so on. It takes Loulou about one night and part of a day to feel at home and take a nap, eat on time and feel she is cared for in her new/old place. And even though none of us moves house very often, somebody out there might get some general tips on making your kitty less stressed when moved around anywhere!
Loulou, here: That said, I am awaiting the time when mama sneaks up on me and drops Beaphar between my ears (she thinks that I think she is just scratching me sweetly but I know what she is doing and just go with it; and hey, it feels sort of good, too, to not worry about that giant thingy that rumbles through the sea or whether I am going to lose my dinner or not). The truth is, I don’t get much dinner before these jaunts–he understands who understands, as they say in Italy–capisce chi capisce–and I don’t wish to bring up that past moment when we were rocking and rolling and poor me, I lost everything on mama’s chest in the middle of the night. It wasn’t much, I have to say, but still….
Here I am in my traveling compartment with big eyes, me, not the apartment. It’s the side effect of Beaphar valeriana, I think, sort of like anthros look when they do those weird things with herbs…haha. I may look stoned, but I’m calm.
So, I, for one, am packing my catnip and a couple of changes of kibble plus my petite toilette bowl for any john, anywhere, and am hoping that this summer is calm and in ONE place for awhile. It’s too hot to do anything anyway except my favourite pastime.
Bon Voyage Loulou – maybe one day you can teach me how your potty-thingy works and I’ll surprise Mom & Pop. Well, shock them would be more like it………well, anyway, I’m SOOOOO impressed. Petits Bisous – Mya
Hey, Mya’s mom, SEE YOU SOON! Much love from me to Mya and from mama to you and JL.
You’re moving for the whole summer or just a vacation? Have a safe and fun trip.
We are visiting D’s ex wife and several grandkid and will spend 7 days with mama’s stepson in Sicily (if if the fires are put out!—it was over 110 degrees the other day because someone had started SIX HUNDRED fires around Palermo) and then back to France for the summer.
Don’t forget to pack some toys too. My cats have a tough enough time going to the vet, I can’t imagine taking any of them on a trip.
OH, I am not so brave on a trip either, but mama gives me valerian drops before these trips and I am more relaxed and not so put out with THEM. Yes, toys, we have to talk about those.
I don’t play with anything but a piece of raffia braided into a long string and I’ll chase it for 10 minutes but then — poof. No more play. When mama got me I didn’t know how to play at all so I have come a long way, baby.
Oh LouLou you are so purrecious and adorable. Hey mommy uses dat Beaphar on me too. Sometimes it helps and sometimes it doesn’t. Go figger. Anyways, glad things are goin’ good and you’te with your mommy and daddy fur da summer. Ya’ll have fun. We’ll be thinkin’ bout ya’.
Luv ya’
Dezi and Raena
WOW, you are the first kitty I have met who knows what that stuff is! Yes, sometimes si and sometimes no. But I’m getting some in a minute so I’m trying to pretend I’m asleep.
Oh LouLou when me says me’s afraid of da storms, me really means it. So mommy searched far and wide and we’s tried just ’bout everythin’ on da market. We came across this while tryin’ to find things and tried it. We have to buy it from amazon and it takes about a month to get to us cuz it’s shipped from Switzerland. But when it works, it works really good. Have fun.
Luv ya’

Yes, Dezi, it works really wonderfully for me and I sort of paw around in a dream for a couple of days and am not so afraid of that big bad motor in the ferry THEY make me take to that other place. I’m just kinda groovin’ right now. It lasts a couple of days I think. Your mommy sure knows some stuff about kitties. I think she has become my mama’s guru.
