Hi! first time poster here looking for some advice on moving house.

It sounds silly as we have moved 3 times with our cat now. However, over the years I've seen differing advice on how long you should keep your cat indoors when you move house.

When we first moved she was 7 months old, kept her in for around 10 days I think, no issues. Second time we were aiming for 2 weeks as we had relocated around 35 minutes away, however on day 5 she darted out when my husband came in one day and didn't come back. On day 2 of her escaping act, we found her on a road around a minute away chilling with a neighbours cat! We kept her in after and she eventually started going out and never ventured too far, no issues.

House move 3! Minnie is now 8. We have moved 5/10 minutes down the road and we are now on day 5 of being indoors and she's going nuts 🙈 

What is the recommended timeframe? our first move we were told 1 week, then 2 the next and after checking online it now says 6 weeks.

Would you say this depends on the cat and location? Does anyone have any advice on easing keeping her inside? I don't want to stress her out.

We kept her in one room initially, and I've let her explore a little more today and moved her blanket up one floor to the middle (3 floors)

attached a pic of her being a lil slug right now
