So a few weeks ago I moved into my own apartment (before and after photos to come) and earlier this week I moved the boys — Chico and Henry. Chico adapted very well and quite quickly, as he didn’t really leave his immediate home (aka cage). Henry on the other hand, didn’t know what to think. First of all, I shoved him into a medium-sized carrier. My sister’s cat is more than willing to go into the carrier — in fact she loves small spaces and going under covers… not Henry. He started tossing his weight around the carrier which made it extremely difficult to carry smoothly.
When we finally got inside, Henry went slinking off into the bedroom, and was momentarily stunned to see my bed there. As you may recall, he’s been quite fine at my parent’s house with the empty bedroom, and I was hoping he’d be okay with a new surroundings with all the same interior stuff… He liked hiding under the bed though.
Also, my box springs are actually sliced down the middle because they’re for a double bed and wouldn’t fit around the corner of the stairs in my parent’s house. So my dad cut the frame almost in half, so that it could bend to get around the corner. With the box springs cut down the middle, the cheese-cloth stuff on the back was left open. Soon Henry found a new exciting toy (aka hiding place).
But those photos are from a couple days ago and he’s adjusting fine now. He still likes the bedroom best, but he’s always liked my bedroom best (even at my parent’s house). And don’t worry — his appetite is normal and he’s using his box. He’s back to being his normal snuggly self!

Cute hiding Henry. Glad to hear he’s adjusting quickly.
Glad Henry is feeling better about his new home. He will make it his in no time! :) He sure is a cutie. Enjoy your new apartment…what fun for you!
Poor Henry…you’ve just gone and rocked his little world, haven’t you? lol I’m glad he’s settling in, though.
How are you? Do you like your new place? :-)
Henry is a cutie how are you liking your new space? Hugs Darcy
I’m glad Henry’s doing well. We’re a bit worried about moving Rosie – that happens in 2 weeks. We thought about taking her to the new house for a look, but then decided that we didn’t want her to know the way back to the old house, so she’ll be going for the first time on moving day, probably at the end of the day.
Henry looks a bit miffed in the last photo:) but I’m glad to hear he has adjusted. So how are you adjusting? Do you like it?
I’m glad Henry is adjusting. Love that he found a special hiding spot!
