Since I have no internet and am posting from my phone, I just wanted to let everyone know we arrived at our new home in West Virginia at around 2:00 yesterday afternoon.
We put the cats in the downstairs bedroom and two helpers and I unloaded the truck.
When we were done Rose let the cats out to explore while I was still outside doing something. When I came in I couldn’t find any of the cats. I looked around downstairs and then went upstairs and found Chris at the top of the stairs looking down. We were worried that Chris’s age and weight would keep him from going up the stairs but we were wrong.
It took a while to find Frankie and Floki who were hiding behind the mattress and box spring that was leaning against a wall. I figured Floki would be nervous but was surprised Frankie was such a baby.
After a while everyone was out exploring or relaxing.
After over four hours of unloading and unpacking, we had to go out for dinner and then the grocery store. By the time we got back we were both exhausted and went to bed. We left our door open because we were worried about the cats. Chris was a bit of a pain but not as bad as usual.
This morning everyone was very comfortable with their surroundings.
I did find poop in the tub this morning which is exactly what Chris used to do when we adopted him. It took me years to learn that two litter boxes next to each other solved the problem so I put litter in the second box and need to buy two more for upstairs.
Bad Cat Chris 
lovely big house with plenty of room for 3 cats, plus the stairs so they can charge up & down for exercise ^^
I think they will love it and it wouldn’t hurt Chris.
Oh what fun the cats must be having exploring all those rooms AND stairs!! They look cozy in bed and happy in general. I’m sure the poop issue was just a matter of what you thought – need two for Chris (!). I’m sure you are happy to be “home” – fixing that place up to make it YOURS will be fun. I hope shopping is close by and you get to know your new neighbors and like them.
Hugs, Pam
Thanks, Pam. There is do very much to do here but once we settle in I think it will be great.
Good to hear that you arrived safely! Many good wishes for an easy going process of settling in!
Thanks so much.
I like your new house! But what is with the door leading to the roof on the second floor?
Apparently, years ago, there was a deck on the roof. It probably needed to be replaced and the owner didn’t have the money to pay for it.
Happy you made it safe and sound! As long as the cats approve…. 😸
Thanks. I think they will be happy.
Yeah, for finally being in your new place. Poop in the tub always means somebody is out of sorts here. Thankfully, it hasn’t happened in a very long time. We know all three of your gang are going to love exploring and finding lots of places to hide, so they can drive you crazy. Good luck as you get settled.

Thanks so much. Frankie and Flokie were just enjoying chasing each other around the house this morning.
Hooray, we’re glad you made it safe and sound and do make sure that Houdini doesn’t try anything, he’d be totally lost in a new area.
Thanks. Yes, I worry about that, especially because we are on a main road. Granted, it’s a small town but some people drive way too fast.
So glad you made it! The new house looks great. The cats are going to have so much fun exploring.
I think they are too. Thank you.
Welcome home!
Thanks.
Glad you all made it! Very nice house.
Thank you.
Just in time for Thanksgiving !
Barely but yes. We have friends over and will be celebrating tonight.
I remember this house! I remember when you posted about it. Nice. Lots of character. And, WV is a pretty state. I used to work with a guy that was from Logan County. He had been a Sheriff’s Deputy.
Glad the cats are more settled. Traveling with them can be difficult.
Yes, it is very pretty here. I can’t wait until I have time to explore with my camera.
That place will take YEARS to explore! It’s pretty big! If we ever moved there, Mom would keep me on my leash so I didn’t get lost from her! Yikes. We wish you all tons of good luck and nothing but happiness and joy there.
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Thank you so much. There certainly is a lot to explore.
What a nice big house you will all have to bang around in. Looks like everyone needed a good nights sleep
Yes, it’s been an exhausting few days but eventually things will quiet down and we will catch up on sleep.
