Hey everyone! I wanted to give you guys some updates on how things have been going. In case anyone missed my previous update I moved into a new place on February 1st! It's been a busy few weeks but I'm starting to get settled in more now (although I still have tons left to unpack and have to go back to finish cleaning my old apartment 😅) I'm so happy to be in a new space and to be out of my old apartment. Although the ironic thing, is that one of my biggest reasons for moving was having loud neighbors waking me up, and now my kitty has been the one waking me up instead. She's been a little stressed out by the move and keeps meowing late at night. I've been trying to give her lots of love and play with her during the day, I also bought some cat pheromone diffuser things that supposedly can help with their stress. And actually last night she was pretty good for most of the night. But if anyone else has any other suggestions for things that might help please let me know in the comments! I'm hoping that all she just needs is just a bit more time to adjust though. As for audios, I'm still trying to figure out how to get my recording stuff set up for the best sound quality. I did a couple test recordings today but my PC was a little too loud in the background, so I'm gonna try moving some things around and see what I can do to improve things. I have a few ideas to try I just needed to buy longer cords and a new mic stand from Amazon so I'm just waiting on those to get here for now. But I'm really excited to start making audios for you guys again as soon as I can!! I think I should be able to get things ready soon and have new content out to you guys next week 🥰 Please enjoy all the silly pics of my kitty 🐈

Always looking forward to new content! 💕 Glad you’re getting settled in and hope kitty will be very soon!

Hey Rum, happy you moved. I understand that cats stressing during the move. We just recently moved in December last year and I have two cats. My youngest was stressing the most and meowing like yours. It’s better to keep them close and let the cat sleep with you as it’s easier for them to adjust, they know your scent so you’re the only thing they know in the whole apartment. It took about a week-2 weeks for mine to adjust. Another thing we had gotten was a large cat tree house with the scratching posts from Amazon. Let them have some kind of “safe spot” or hide out. It’ll give them a place to start “calling their own” if that makes sense. Luna didn’t come out of the cat tree for days, however slowly she started to venture out and everything went back into norm. Hopefully that helps 🤣 a little.

I recommend Feliway for Kitty its supposed to really help for moving. It’s another diffuser but it is more portable and I’ve heard works a tad better. Honestly though, if the diffuser is already working well enough I would just stick with that. It’s just going to take time for her to settle in so unfortunately you might have a few more sleepless nights. I’m glad other than that everything is going well! Wishing you the best🫶

I’m so glad you were able to move in so CONGRATS!! 🥳Speaking from experience cats usually take a while to adjust to a new environment just try to keep her stuff the way it was in your old place it helps. She seems so relaxed in the pics though 😍😍 let her know we send her lots of kisses 😘 I can’t wait to hear what you have planned

Bethany McCauley

My Luna has been super wired at night last night it sounded like she was gonna break the door down and the only way I can calm her is to put a sweater or shirt on her she gets tired almost instantly

Congratulations on the move and I’m glad that things are going well. Kitty is adorable and I do love your content, but please take as much time as you need to adjust and transition. 💘 it’s so exciting being in a new space and making it something that’s a part of you. Hope your cat eases into the transition as well. Glad to hear you’re well!

Congratulations on the new move Rum! I'm working on moving to a new place myself so hearing you did it is lovely news. Maybe try to replicate the smell of your old pace in the new one? But I wish I could send pics of my cat in exchange for your kitty pics. Although strangely enough my cat, Zema, has also been being weird lately too. Just the other night she decided to tear up a bunch of printer paper and leave it all throughout the house.

Congrats!! It seems like youre doing everything right for your kitty, mostly just needs time to adjust. I feel like I got lucky with my cat (sans the yelling and strategic positioning around my feet so that I trip lol). Even when I lived out of my car for a few weeks, Pumpkin was really resilient and just happy to be near me, and adjusted to the changes really well. I think each cat is different, maybe you can leave some T-shirts you wore out for her to "nest" in, or other familiar items that carry your scent so that she adjusts better? It sounds like she might be getting better already, so hopefully it just continues on a positive trajectory!

Congrats on the move, and glad to hear from you! Do you need sound dampening panels ? A Kaotica Eyeball?

Dollface

Thanks for the update and cute pictures!! One thing I read years ago is that cats like having boxes around the house that they can hide/hangout in. It lowers their stress and makes them feel secure. Since then I’ve always had a few boxes in various rooms for Abbie. Anything from a beer box to Amazon boxes or an orange crate. Whenever I get new a new box I leave it by the door to see if Abbie really vibes with it and then recycle the old ones as they get too mangled. I’ve tried getting her dedicated cat houses but she prefers a good old cardboard box so I go with it. Take your time settling in and enjoy some extra kitty snuggle time! Xxx

clau

Congrats on the successful move Rummy! Also, your kitty's fur always looks so shiny and silky 🥰 what a beautiful princess

Fiona

Congrats on the move! I hope the change in scenery brings you joy ❤️ I have 5 cats (I know 😅) and time is really what it takes to adjust. Catnip, blankets and/or beds that they enjoyed at the old place, placed all around help mine a lot. Anything that adds a sense of familiarity to their space. It’s always chaotic and stressful, especially at night, for the first week or two. I always try to play with them for as long as they will engage before bed so everyone can sleep well. Take all of the time you two need 🥰

Cherry ✨

Congrats on the move👏🏻✨ ahh, hopefully your lil kitty gets settled soon, I know how it is for them to keep you up at all hours of the night (my cat does the same 😭) but as far as suggestions 👀 keep giving her love and playing with her throughout to day to try and decrease those little daily naps that way she can sleep a little more throughout the night, works with my cat most times 😭😂 but even still I can’t resist letting her sleep during the day, she just looks too cute🥺🤭

Lizzy

hey there! hope you get things humming along soon, i’m sure you hate all your stuff being all over the place. moving is a huge upheaval and it carries it’s own kind of stress as kitty is demonstrating. the fun part is a fresh, clean slate! have a nice weekend and 🤞🏻 we’ll hear ya next week 😉

MoonKnight

Hey Rum, omg moving is so stressful! But sounds like you've got it sorted, and your sweet little kitty will settle, you're absolutely right she just needs to adjust. Once she's scented everything she will be fine, sounds like you're already doing what she needs. You're a good kitty dad 🥰. Looking forward to new audios but it's fine, take your time getting things right for you. Hugs 🥰

Bella Ferdinand

Usually what I do if I am bringing my cat anywhere is make sure I have items that they constantly use that have their scent or even yours. It’s helps them but you’re doing amazing so far with what you can do for her. She’s gorgeous and she will be a very relaxed kitty soon I’m sure. I’m happy when I see someone love their cat just as much as I love mine.

i wanna steal his cat

Honey

Congrats on the new place! Every time we have to move with our two kitties, I usually make sure I have a few days completely off to get everything unpacked. I know they can sense that boxes mean change. We also make sure to do the most play before bed! And lots of it, too! Make them super tired so we can get some rest. The last thing I suggest is maybe a little silly, but we would take them on smell tours? We just hold them and lift them into places they haven't seen yet to smell around. Idk maybe our cats are weird, but that always helps when they seem to be extra vocal!

Rum

She already does sleep on top of my legs haha. she's just been getting up and walking around meowing in the night now. But I was already considering getting her a new cat tree, since there's a bit more space now. I think you're right that might help her feel like she has more places to hang out and feel safe in. Thank you so much for the suggestions!!

Rum

Feliway is the brand of the things I got! I might not have explained it properly lol. They're the ones that are like little wall plugs that spread pheromones around to help them feel calmer and less stressed. I was sceptical if they would work or not but I was willing to give it a try if it helped her feel more comfortable. But they really do seem to have made a difference! But yeah I'm hoping with maybe another week she'll be better at nighttime. And until then ... well I was already used to not getting sleep haha 😆 Thank you though! 🥰

Rum

Oh no! I'm sure that was lots of fun to deal with in the middle of the night 😆 maybe I'll try that trick if I really need to get some sleep one night. I hope your Luna can calm down more at night for you too though!

Rum

Aww thank you! That's really kind of you. It always makes me happy how supportive and patient so many of you all are with me 💕 Some people on Reddit aren't always so kind in dms and stuff lol so I really appreciate it

Rum

Oh nooo! I hope she didn't make too much of a mess haha. If your kitty keeps doing that you could consider trying those diffuser things I've been using too! They seemed to make a difference with my kitty. Although I imagine they don't work for every cat. They are Feliway diffusers. Just in case you want to give them a try

Rum

Thank you! Yeah she has been getting better so hopefully with a bit more time she'll keep calming down. Pumpkin sounds like a sweetheart!! I don't know how my girl would handle something like that lol. Also I love the name pumpkin for a cat, that's cute

Mrs.Sickler

Thank you - she really is the best!! ❤️

mossblossom00

Congrats on the move, Rummy! ❤️✨️ Glad you feel good in the new place and hope that Kitty Baby will settle in soon too ❤️✨️ She looks so majestic in the last pic ❤️✨️ Like a sweet, tiny panther 🥰✨️

The B & W pic of kitty yawning is everything!!! 💖Congratulations on the move!!!

alickslover97

It makes me so sad to hear that people aren’t giving you the kindness and grace you deserve when you are so generous sharing yourself with us. You deserve all the time you need. Moving is big thing! Sending you lots of positive energy 🫶🏾

Bethany McCauley

She does it when she gets locked out for being destructive that night she tried to take out the Playstation

Jenn

Kitty is so silky looking

Rum

Yeah I probably will need to get some more sound treatment stuff soon too. It is pretty echoey at the moment. That eyeball thing looks cool lol, but I don't think it would fit around my 3dio mic

Rum

Haha yeah cats are so funny. I always laugh that whenever I buy her a new toy her favorite thing is the box it came in 😆. I do have plenty of empty boxes around from moving so she has been enjoying playing and hiding in them

Rum

Aww thank you!! Everyone who meets her in person always says how soft she is too lol. One person told me the softer their fur, the happier they are. And I always hope that's the reason for it

Rum

Haha no judgement from me. I have thought about getting more cats too lol but I don't know how she would handle it. Or if I could handle it lol. But it's reassuring to know that it's pretty common for them. I only had dogs before and they never seemed to care much when we moved so I didn't know to expect any different this time. But she's been doing a lot better the last few nights!

Rum

Yeah I've been trying to play with her a bunch to get her more tired. It definitely seems to be helping along with everything else. Thank you! 🥰

Rum

Yeah it is pretty stressful how chaotic things are at the moment that's for sure 😅 I'm hoping to get more stuff organized this weekend. It's just been so tiring just moving everything over I haven't had the energy to unpack much lol. Thanks Lizzy 💕

Rum

Thank you! I do try my best to be a good cat dad!! 😭 Last night she barely meowed much at all so it's definitely getting better with time like you said

Rum

Haha thank you! I just thought that would be a funny filter to put on her yawning lol

Jheni B.

It's purrfect❣️

Rum

Noooo!! It would take an army to steal her from me 😤

Cool Bean

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Cool Bean

Nooooo i'm totally kidding - I'm actually allergic to cats, but this one is extra tempting to pet lol

Andrea

Love the kitty pics 😻 what a photogenic baby!! Congrats on the move, Rum! As someone who moved two months ago I sympathize with the whole getting settled thing. Good luck!

Dollface

Then it’ll probably just take time for her to settle in. Abbie has always randomly screamed into the void on the regular so I’ve managed to tune it out. She’s got a different scream if she’s about to puke or smells a mouse so I can know when to ignore it. I kinda envy being able to scream into the void to be honest, but it would probably be weird if I did it.
