I moved house yesterday.
I stuck the cat in the boarding facility until today.
Brought her home and introduced her to the new environment. She looked around and seemed OK. Let her outside and she fucked off. Never to be seen since...
Damn. I've had that cat for 12 years...
I hate moving house. It sucks. Especially when you go from an ace house to a shithole...

Time for a replacement anyway.
You wouldn't keep a bike for 12 years.

Because the bankers, who fucked up the financial system, said I had to.

Whip it, whip it good!
That sucks about your cat. When I moved from the country into town my cat disappeared for 3 months! I was so sad. I had to move again and was sitting having a drink with a friend commenting on how sad it would be if Blackie found her way back and we were not there anymore.
She went home, about 10 mins later she is back in the driveway grinning from ear to ear. She had taken a different route home and saw a little black cat on the side of the road. She stopped and called her, and bugger me the cat came to her!
Yes we got our little black cat back. She was in reasonable knick, just very wild and scared. It took a while to get her settled again, and we watch her each time we have moved since. When we came in here, she got in under the spa bath downstairs and would not come outI was scared she would get fried but the wires

I wonder if your cat went back to your old place, Slofox.
If you find your cat again, probably best to lock in in the new house for a week or so

I remember when our cat came back from an operation at the vet. Went out to call him for food. And jeez he wasn't there. 3 days later, got a visit from the 90 y/o lady next door, asking if it was your cat that was stuck under her bed. After we got him back he returned to his normal mooching self.
One hell of a ride.

What part of Christchurch are you from?

sorry to hear that slofox. As suggested, check your previous place. We had to move our cat three times, tried the butter trick but found that keeping her inside for awhile worked best, only a couple of days required until they pick up the scent of the place and/or the fact that this is where their slaves (you) are staying.
Moving house does suck, spent the whole of Easter helping someone move house, hope their 3 cats make the transition.
One hell of a ride.
Did you put butter on its paws?
I've seen this work with a siamese.

IT'S OK She's back!
Little bugger was in the room right next to me when I woke up from a drunken morose daze..."Meowp! Purp! Get yr arse outa that bed and FEEEEEEED me!"
She seems as pleased to see me as I am to see her. AND looks as though she's been in the new place forever.
Talk about manipulative...
