Yesterday my fiancé moved my two cats into our new apartment. Our kitties..
Normal Onyx…
Normal Molly…
Current Onyx…
Annnd current Molly..
*sigh*
We knew they were both going to have a hard time adjusting as they have lived in my house for almost 10 years and been to the vet only a handful of times. And Molly? Epitome of a scaredy cat. She is scared of her own shadow, strange people, moderate to loud noises, etc. and all of the above. We put her in a cat carrier to bring her to our new place and she cried the whole way. We got her here and she shook uncontrollably and “hid” by burrowing under the pillows, where she stayed all evening and most of the night. Her other hiding places when she got the courage to get off of the bed? Behind the washer and in a little hole under the cabinets. Needless to say, she is NOT adjusting well. Onyx was scared but eventually loosened up, explored the apartment, and settled in. Or so we thought… I woke up this morning at 3 AM to a loud MEOW right in my ear. A stupid cat, he is not. He woke us up and then proceeded to walk around the entire apartment crying (and not just a regular meow, a MEOW that sounded like a dying cow or something). And p.s., someone remind me not to have kids.. a 3am wake up call was NOT fun. Needless to say, not much sleep went on last night. It KILLS me to see my little fur babies this upset and I’m not sure what to do :/ If they don’t get better in the next few days, we will have to take them back to my parent’s. At this point, I’m slightly terrified Molly is going to have a heart attack.
In other news, my eats…
Kashi Heart to Heart cereal (yes, it’s under all the banana and nut butter).
This breakfast never gets old!
I never really had a “lunch,” other than some snacking on cashews..
And my mom cooked burgers (turkey burger for me) and fries for dinner.
And breakfast THIS morning was…
Quaker Oatmeal Squares, bananas, and bloobs.
After spending some time at the apartment complex pool with my work besties, I snacked on this yogurt mix..
Chobani lemon yogurt, Udi’s granola, and 2 small peaches.
I’m now planning on doing a bit of a workout, a little cleaning, and then dinner and drinks with my best friend!
Question of the Day: What would you like to see more of on The Process of Healing? More foodie pictures? Less? More workout info? And questions that you have? Ask away!
I guess being a “crazy cat lady” isn’t so bad when you have a crazy cat man to join you
What a cut little fur ball family y’all have!!
girl, blog about whatever the hell you want. as long as you keep blogging, I’ll keep reading! Would you ever do a vlog?! I’m dying to see your face
Aww your kitties are such cuties, and I’m sure they’ll get used to the new place before long… My dog is the same way – she doesn’t like new situations, but she usually has no choice but to adapt to them, so she does
And I’m with Jenny ^^ would be neat to see a vlog
Gahh, what is it with cats?! lol. They just seem to get so rattled with a change of scenery. When we first moved here ours hid under beds for days. I am sure they will settle in soon, don’t give up. You’re still there and soon they’ll realize that it’s not so traumatizing
Aww your poor kitties. I hope they adjust to your new place!
Do you and your fiance cook together and eat the same dinners now? I’d love to see some posts on your shared meals.
Yes more foodie pictures! Yours are always so pretty! And I definitely want to hear more about your workouts, your fiance, your wedding, and your plans!
Ah, i hope the kitties start adjusting fast!!! I know how hard it is to see your fur babies upset…breaks (haha, I just typed breakfast!) my heart!
I have never been a kittie person, but I think that is because I was NOT allowed any animals growing up. I am now a person that would rather not have them in my house because of all of the hair.
I love your blog and I think it would be great if we could hear more about what you do in your daily life and maybe learn about your fiance! :LD
Onyx looks so much like my cat Dewey! Adorable
I’m sure they’ll get the lay of land soon enough!
My family hasn’t moved since we’ve had our cat, so if we ever do I’m scared to see how they would adapt! At least they have you and your finance to comfort them
That’s so funny- my cat Coco is a tortoiseshell like Molly and she’s petrified of everything too!! I love her but she’s kinda nuts.
Hi Jessica,
I’ve been reading your blog for awhile and I love it! I don’t think I’ve ever commented before, but after reading this particular post about moving your kitties into your new home, I can totally relate. My family and I have quite a few cats, and we’ve been moving around a lot in the past couple years, so I know how frustrating it is seeing your cats having a hard time adjusting. I think the best thing you can do is just give it time. One of my cats is very outgoing, and he adjusted in the matter of a day or two, but our other two cats are much more shy and afraid, and they took more like 2 weeks to completely adjust. Definitely give it more than a few days though. In the meantime, just try to give them as much love and attention as you can. You could even try creating a “safe” space for them by confining them to one or two rooms, so they can explore more slowly. I am sure they will come around soon though!
As far as what I would like to see on your blog, anything you want! I love it the way it is now, but I second some of the others on the vlog thing if you’re up for it! I love hearing bloggers talk lol.
Best of luck with your kitties, and congrats on your new place!
Your foodie pics are so pretty!
I would love to see your wedding planning and a vlog would be cool as well!
OH my gosh, I am ashamed to say I haven’t read your blog for quite some time and missed when you got engaged! I was trying to go back and find that post to get more info but couldnt…do you have a link? I just got engaged in February!
Congrats!
Aw yay! Congrats to you! Here is the post – http://theprocessofhealing.wordpress.com/2011/04/26/the-prince-the-princess/
Awww! Poor kitties! I wish I knew what to tell you to do. Sadly, we have a scaredy dog who has never gotten better.
I love your blog just the way it is!
AWWWEEEE!!! Your kitties are so cute!!
My kitty is a scaredy kitty too.
