@RR Homestead an old English lady told me this about moving cats........ butter their paws. When you get them to where you are going, butter their paws. They hate it and will immediately go into full grooming mode to lick all that butter off. Grooming relaxes them, they are "home" and won't run off because it is a new place. Even so, you might want to do that inside or in a specific room. I moved a cat one time, daughter was 8 years old. We buttered the cats paws outside. Cat did not like it, clawed me to break free and took off for parts unknown. It got dark. Daughter was worried. It got late. Daughter was getting upset. It got past her bedtime. Daughter was weepy. It got past 10 PM. Daughter was worried, weepy, not going to sleep, very upset. MEOW MEOW MEOW. Daughter ran to the door and let the cat in. Welcome home kitty.
So you might want to do that inside to spare yourself the anxiety of WILL I EVER SEE MY CAT AGAIN?
