I'm moving soon and I've been stressing about my two cats. One is an
older female that is 90% an indoor cat (she occassionally hangs out on
the deck). I'm not so worried about her. But the other is a young male
cat I adopted about a year and a half ago. He was a stray and living
outdoors at the time I adopted him. And he's still very much the
indoor/outdoor cat. I think he sees me largely as his official
door-opener. He spends a lot of his time patrolling and guarding the
yard which he obviously sees as his territory.

I'm worried about moving him. I've heard you should keep a cat indoors
for at least two weeks after a move to make sure they figure out this
is their new home and won't take off looking for their old landmarks.
Does that sound reasonable? Does anybody have experiences to share
about moving rambunctious young indoor/outdoor cats? How long did you
keep them indoors after moving?

I'm also worried about him tearing up the place and chasing my other
cat and generally making me crazy during the period I'll have to keep
him inside. Are there any ideas about how to make that go easier for a
kitty who's not used to being confined?
