We're another step closer to our final decision on whether to move to NZ, with a job offer for my husband in hand. However, one of the big stumbling blocks for us is... do we take the cats? They're the extremely sucky kind (if my OH turns over in the middle of the night, the girl-cat climbs over to his other side so she can hear his heart better).
Expense aside, we're most concerned about inflicting trauma on the cats through the move. Several days of travel/isolation + 30 days quarantine + new digs seems like a lot to put them through. Their previous owner declawed them so they can't go outdoors either. We've asked around with our friends to see if someone could take them but so far no luck.
For people who've moved cats with them to New Zealand, what was your cat's reaction? Basically I'd like to know what the answer would be if we could ask our cats whether they'd rather stay in Canada with new 'staff' or move to NZ with us.
