This is a community aimed at people who want to talk about their pets, not just see pictures. Cats and dogs are likely to be the main focus, but any household pet can be included, so feel free to post about your gerbil, tortoise or hedgehog if you have one!
The main rules are that posts must be related to pets and that the focus is on discussion. Posts can include photos, as long as that is not the sole purpose of the post.
There will be a pinned post for people who want to introduce themselves and their pets where general photos can be put in the comments.

When I move with cats, I try to move cats before things. I take the cats, food, water, litter and some clothing with their smell on, let them explore the new place. Then I lock them in a room when I move my things. Like, cats in a room far from the entrance, things in a room far from the cats to reduce the noise. It's not perfect but it's so less stress than emptying the apartment with the cats in.
If you have only one cat, you can take a poop. Poop is home.
I don’t know if this is good. If the cats explore the new place when it’s empty and then have to adjust again when everything is placed seems like they have to go through change multiple times.
On the other hand, some cats love change, so it depends on their personality. My cats love every slight change to furniture, even just a new position.
