the only other thing i can think of is to make sure he doesn't get out while you are moving out of the old place. if you can put him in a room with the door closed while you're taking the boxes out of the front door. my cat would never let me do that, so i had to put him in his carrier once i had the front door open to take all the boxes out.

i think you two will do fine. it's really not hard to move a cat from my experience unless they go outside. then they whine like crazy to get out in the new place. oh, do i have crazy stories about that. it was so bad i tried valium for him once. all it did was make him sloppy and whiny. too funny. i should have taken the valium instead. then i lost him for 4 1/2 months at my other new place because he got away but miraculously i got him back. he was my miracle kitty.

oh, make sure he has tags on with your new phone number just in case he does slip out. that's how i got my miracle cat back. someone finally called me.
