Moving house with kittens

This weekend we moved house, and we took our 6 week old kittens with us. This was the first time they've been out of their comfort zone, also their first time in a car, and let's not forget the first time in their new home.

We were really worried that they'd not travel well, perhaps struggle to get out of the travel box, but in fact they coped really really well. We used the cardboard box they've been sleeping in, but closed the top flap and held it down with twine.

At first they tried to get out, but as soon as we were in the car they settled down an went to sleep. In fact they didn't even notice when we arrived at the new house and carried them into the living room.

After the box was opened we woke them and let them climb out on their own, and honestly within a couple of minutes they racing all over the house sniffing out new hiding places, discovering where we'd put their toilet box, climbing the armchairs, and getting into mischief.

The next day they seemed to know their way around so well it's as if they were born here. All in all we're delighted, the kittens being happy is a big weight off our minds.
