After three years in my current apartment on the countryside I got an offer to a beautiful apartment my hometown (small city of about 13.5k people). As Miez enjoys her (limited and supervised) garden time here I took care that I have my own garden there. While I pack boxes Miez watches closely.

Zwei Tage bis zum Unzug. Während ich alles auseinanderbaue stehe ich unter Miez' stenger Beobachtung Nach drei Jahren in meiner derzeitigen ländlichen Bude habe ich ein Angebot zu einer schönen Wohnung in meiner Heimatstadt (kleine Stadt mit ungefähr 13.500 Einwohnern) bekommen. Damit Miez auch weiterhin (zeitweile, beaufsichtigt) draußen sein darf habe ich darauf geachtet einen eigenen Garten zu haben. Während ich Kartons packe schaut mir Miez genau zu.

An empty chest, the cat trap is working

Eine leere Truhe muss sofort inspiziert werden

Yesterday a buddy of mine helped disassembling the kitchen. Even though she doesn't like the noises of the cordless screwdriver, from time to time she came to us to demand her pets.

Gestern hat mir n Kumpl geholfen die Küche zu zerlegen. Obwohl sie das Geräusch des Akkuschraubers nicht mag hat sie doch ab und zu vorbeigeschaut um ihre Streicheleinheiten einzufordern.

You can tell she isn't too happy about all the time I spend not petting her.

Man merkt ihr deutlich an dass sie unzufrieden ist so wenig Aufmerksamkeit von mir zu bekommen.

However she is really grateful when I do.

Jedoch ist sie sehr dankbar wenn sie ihre verdienten Streicheleinheiten bekommt.

Sometimes she even falls asleep on my lap now, which is really rare.

Manchmal schläft sie nun sogar auf meinem Schoß was äußerst ungewöhnlich ist.

Ich kann nicht viel Deutsch erinnern, aber Miez ist sehr schön

Ja, Miez ist eine ganz Schöne. Äußerlich wie innerlich.

A cat can or will be stressed in a new home. My cat after we need to take him out to the vet returning home will inspect every corner of the house to make sure everything is safe. He also does this when even moving some furniture. I hope your cat will adapt ASAP.

Yeah Miez is really sensible to changes in my daily schedule. I mean she can cope with me not being there when I can't work from home, but she really doesn't like when I'm home and disturb her routines by packing and moving furniture. I make room for her as much as possible like keeping the cat tree on the balcony up. This helps her a lot as she can lie there and watch me through the closed door (there are two others) so she doesn't hear the noise. I make a point in taking my time for her in the evening and only watch TV with headphones so it's quiet for her.

Have a good move and adjustment to your new home! Miez reminds me of a cat clock in the video

I had just moved from the city to a village and my cat is still adapting. Mornings and evenings he’s walking about meowing and every time he’s peacefully sleeping on the couch is precious.

It has some upsides, he likes having access to the outside so much he lets me put a harness and leash on him. Now we go on little walks every night.

[–] slevinkelevra@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Miez also accepts a harness. However it is difficult to walk with her if it isn't on a narrow path she can follow. Also it gets tricky when there is a dog.

Ertappt. Yeah my first volcano met its end after 10 years so I just got a new one.

[–] kindenough@kbin.earth 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Please give us an update how it goes with Miez when you all are settled and comfortable.
