    it’s the only thing in the new place that still smells like home. of course your baby loves it. it’s their only emotional anchor in your new gymnasium of panic attacks.

    edit: your baby (and you) will “scent” your new place eventually, but everything old has that “familiar smell” ingrained in the stuff you brought with you (furniture, clothes, etc), especially that cat bed, your bed, etc. They will serve as touchstones as your cat familiarizes themselves with your new home, until they make it “theirs".

      No, no… I moved the bed from a window, to the end of the hallway, the place is the same place Lorelei has always known. ;)

        oooooohhh… maybe check the seals around that window. you may be losing a lot of heat through that (and other) windows in your home. kitties don’t like drafty sleeping spots.
