\nOne of the must-haves during your search for apartments in Mountlake Terrace, WA<\/a> was that the complex must be pet-friendly. You finally found an apartment in the area that allows your beloved cat to move in with you, and you couldn’t be happier.<\/p>\n

If yours is most like felines, then chances are kitty isn’t too thrilled about the move. He or she may exhibit many nervous — and even destructive —  behaviors. Want to curb these early? Here’s how to help your cat acclimate to its new environment.<\/p>\n

Let Th<\/strong>em <\/strong>Hide<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If the first thing your cat does when you open the door to your new apartment is run and hide, that’s okay. Your kitty doesn’t feel like they’re safe yet. It needs to adapt, and once it does, it'll reappear. Then your cat can begin staking out spaces that feel like home.<\/p>\n

Make It Smell Nice<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Whether you prefer catnip or even synthetic pheromones, these scents will attract your cat and make them feel more at home. It’s recommended you check with your vet to confirm if you should use these products in such a manner before you do so.<\/p>\n

Set out Homey Touches<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Make it look and feel like home by setting out your cat’s toys, blankets, bed, and food bowl. This tells your feline friend that this is its home now. If old scents linger on these items, the cat may feel more at ease.<\/p>\n

No Outdoor Wandering<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Your cat may be an outdoor pet, but in the first few weeks, its behavior can be unpredictable. You could take it outside and it might bolt. It’s recommended you wait two weeks before kitty goes outside. Even then, do it in 10-minute increments, extending that time more and more.<\/p>\n
