Cat living in one room?

There is so much you can do to ensure your cat has all the stimulation and enrichment she needs to live a happy, stress-free life. You can indeed leash-train your feline friend! Leash-training is one of the best things you can do for your cat to help open up their world and work off all that pent-up, excess energy. It’s also a fantastic bonding experience between the two of you. I have never regretted leash-training my own boys.

I would also recommend searching online for some DIY cat ledges, trees, and so on so that your cat can have a place in the home to call her own. Not that she doesn’t like sleeping on the couch with you or cuddling up in your lap on those lazy afternoons, but every pet deserves a little place to call their own where they can retreat to, so don’t be afraid to use Google to your advantage. /Or/ if you feel up to spending a little extra money, you can use sites like PetSmart and PetCo to order premade wall ledges, wall cubes, and trees to satisfy your cat’s needs.

And /toys/. Toys, toys, toys and more /toys/. Feather wands, crinkle balls, jingle balls, squeaky mouses, crinkle tube chutes, one of those little ball chaser track things. Everything and anything to fulfill your cat’s lust to hunt, pounce, chase, kick, scratch and bat at. And scratching! Scratching posts are a /must/ and they have some really clever ones nowadays to utilize in small areas.

Also, don’t worry about her eating while on the road. Just provide her with water, which you can water bottles that cling to the cage of her carrier. Yes, I mean those ones that look like they’re for gerbils, hamsters, and rats, haha. They make them for bigger animals like cats and dogs and are made specifically for that purpose! But don’t fret if she doesn’t eat or drink. This onetime thing will not kill her. She’ll be under some stress and will probably want to panic and sleep the whole drive.

Just be sure to crack open a can of wet food and provide fresh water when you reach your new home. I say wet food because if she chooses not to drink and instead wants to eat she will be hydrated from the canned food instead.

Good luck and remember to use the internet to your advantage! There are literally hundreds of things you can do to make your home perfect for your special little lady~

As long as you're around, your cat will be happy. I've lived w/ my babes in a small studio to a spacious big apartment. They have toys, I play w/ them, and they've been happy at all the places I've lived. I like giving my cats some "rescue remedy" before any trips, and it does work! It calms them down, and they end up sleeping-it seems to work for about 2 hours.
