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.
