When you get your Maine Coon kitten, the breeder will often have you sign an agreement that you will keep the cat strictly indoors. Over time, we have learned that indoor cats live longer, healthier lives.

Many people dont agree with this, thinking that it deprives the cat of things that he can only gain from being outdoors, where he is free to roam, climb, and chase. But the argument for keeping cats indoors is very strong. Fortunately, there is a compromise. You simply need to bring some elements of the great outdoors indoors for your cat.

So let’s start looking at things through a cat’s eyes. To begin with you have probably got a window ledge in your house upon which your cat can sit, and they will probably do this hour after hour simply watching what is going on. But if you don’t feel that this is quite enough then there is an alternative option.

The presidential candidates may be bleating about change, but the simple truth is most of us do not like change. Well, moving is all about change. This might be why so many of us groan at the mere thought of packing up our stuff.

Moves are a pain because they are stressful both physically and emotionally. When you complete a move, you feel like you have just run a marathon or something. Well, as bad as it is for you, it is even worse for your pet.

Pets are very territorial, particularly cats and dogs. When they are removed from their territories, the stress they feel can go through the roof. To this end, they can sense a change coming much like they can sense a bath.

Sick pets are no fun. Take a trip to your trusty vet before moving to make sure everything is okay. The vet may be able to give you something to calm your pet during the move. Make sure to ask for a vet referral as well for the destination.
