Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2006Good Thoughts for Tasha
I'm not asking for purrs, just good thoughts for old lady Natasha as we move to Indianapolis this weekend. This is her 4th move, and the others have gone ok. She was fine after a few days of settling in. I'm hoping this one is just as uneventful for her. My method: Tasha has the run of the new place until the movers arrive. Then I put her in the bathroom with her food/water/litterbox/bed/toy while things are moved in. Once they're gone, she's completely free to roam (in the past this has been hiding under the bed time). I hope she likes the new place. The bedroom window has very wide ledges, which the landlord calls "cat beds" >^.^< Jeanne Hedge, as directed by Natasha ============ http://www.jhedge.com Good thoughts on the way. I'll throw in a couple of purrs for good measure. ;-) Joy > I'm not asking for purrs, just good thoughts for old lady Natasha as > we move to Indianapolis this weekend.

What area of Indianapolis? We have a friend who lives in Pittsboro. We leave the race cars with him when we're on a series of midwest races. Perhaps when we're in the area someday we could meet.

Perhaps when we're in the area someday we could meet. That would be nice. :) I'm moving to the south side, near Southport Road (exit 103 of I-65) and Sherman Avenue.

[quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > ============ > http://www.jhedge.com I do have one additional suggestion: Either lock the bathroom door (which may not be possible because most bathrooms lock only from the inside) or post a large "do not open" sign...possibly with a picture of a cat. You would not want the movers to inadvertently open the door when Natasha is inside. Good luck. I'm sure the move will go smoothly, especially since Tasha has been through this before.

You >would not want the movers to inadvertently open the door when Natasha is >inside. You're right about locking the bathroom door :( Actually, I'm not too worried about the movers, but rather my niece, who is crazy about Tasha (Tasha, OTOH, sees her coming and heads in the other direction <g>). She's going along to "help" her daddy help me, and I just know she's going to try to get to Tasha at the worst possible times. OTOH, she's only 3-1/2, and there's never a good time for things like playing with the furry critters when the movers are present. :) Jeanne Hedge, as directed by Natasha ============ http://www.jhedge.com >>I do have one additional suggestion: Either lock the bathroom door (which >>may not be possible because most bathrooms lock only from the inside) or [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > ============ > http://www.jhedge.com That does sound like a potential problem-in-the-making (small child, adults busy, etc.). Check your bathroom doorknob. Some can be locked only from the inside but have a small hole on the other side. A thin, straight object (such as an ice pick) can be pushed through the hole to unlock the door. Of course, you would want to check it first with the locked door in the *open* position! MaryL >You're right about locking the bathroom door :( > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >for things like playing with the furry critters when the movers are >present. :) Well, at least she sounds like she'll grow to become a catslave. :) >>You're right about locking the bathroom door :( >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >Well, at least she sounds like she'll grow to become a catslave. :) Oh yes. And she has all these semi-feral farm kitties at her own house to chase around. But they won't let her touch them, like Tasha will.

I'm still unpacking though (and probably will be until the heat death of the universe (or so it seems)), and Tasha seems to be settling in very nicely - no problems with food/drink or litter box (yay!) Actually, I think maybe she likes the new place very much. I haven't caught her trying out the extra wide front window sill yet (also known as "the cat bed" by my landlord), but today is the first really sunny day since we moved, and I'm betting I catch her there later ^_^ She's also claimed several other places to stretch out and supervise. And snooze when she's not supervising, of course. Jeanne Hedge, as directed by Natasha ============ http://www.jhedge.com > Back online, and Natasha and my move went very well.
