It’s been an exciting few weeks for the KCC Gang – we have made a big move into our very first house! Things got off to a shaky start with Sampson the Hide-&-Go-Seek Champion, but it didn’t take long for the kitties to settle in and make themselves comfortable. I’d have to say that they are really enjoying their new space.
Some of the biggest changes:
- Except for the bedrooms, the house has hardwood floors throughout. While I was excited about this feature, I was also nervous because I wasn’t sure how Sophie would do on the slick floors. I was expecting to have to invest in several rugs to cover the floors so she could get around. Turns out, Sophie LOVES the floors. She doesn’t have too much trouble getting around really, and she actually enjoys the slipping and sliding. She purposely falls over and slides across the floor just for the thrill of it. She always has a way of turning something potentially negative into something amazingly awesome.
- Sassy’s Domain is considerably smaller than before. In our previous home, the upstairs was laid out in such a way that she had complete and sole access to two bedrooms and a bathroom. Currently, she just has one bedroom. However, we have purchased a cat door to install in the wall that separates her room and the master bedroom so that she will again have access to two bedrooms and a bathroom. To make up for this downsizing of her domain, we have been letting her enjoy free roaming time of the entire house. We put the other kitties up in our bedroom and let Sassy out to explore. Yesterday had both Sophie and Sassy out to enjoy free roaming time together, which went pretty well. There was some hissing from Sassy’s end, but overall she did very well. I am still hopeful that she will be able to be integrated into the gang someday.
- More space! The house is a little bit bigger than our previous home, so the kitties have more space to call their own. And it’s OUR space! We own it, and we can catify it however we like! Can’t wait to get started!!!
We apologize that we have been MIA for the past few weeks. It has been difficult to keep up with the Cat Blogosphere while in the middle of our move, but this week it is our goal to get back in the swing of things! We hope you’ll stop back by on #WobblyWednesday for a special guest interview!
Raven says
Glad to see everyone is settling in nicely. I do the same thing with our curtains!
Summer says
The new place sounds amazing! When Binga, Boodie and Sparkle moved to the house we all are currently living in, they loved it right away. I think they knew my human was unhappy at the old house. They settled in immediately.
Toby & Leia says
Pawsome home! We hope everyone settles in very quickly.
Austin Towers says
House moving is HUGE thing, so don’t worry about visiting! We understand. It sounds like everyone is settling in well! xx
Tamago says
Glad kitties got settled in the new home and are enjoying themselves. Sophie is such an amazing girl. She can turn anything into something positive π My Goro loves to slip and slide, too, but we don’t have much hardwood floor space. How wonderful Sassy and Sophie got to have free roaming together. I really hope integration will happen in the future. Have a wonderful week xoxo

We are so happy that everyone is settling so nicely into their new home. It appears as if the kitties have many comfy places to relax. Astrid is wishing that was her napping with Sampy.

So glad everyone is enjoying your new home! The cat tree in the window made us smile! We hope Sassy starts to like being with everyone else too!
Annie says
We didn’t realize you guys were moving. We’ve done that a lot so we can empathize! What a sweetie Sophie is to make the best of the hardwood floors and even enjoy them. How nice that Sassy is able to have some roaming time. Hopefully, some day, she’ll be comfortable to do that with all the kitties, but until then, it sounds like she’s doing well.
Love the pictures!
