Help! The girls aren't adjusting well to Savannah… at all!

[Andrew]

We moved in Sunday evening, and after a stressful trip down (mostly for the cat, Spooky, who spent several hours in the cat crate that she hates), we went almost straight to bed.
By Monday morning, it became evident the animals are not comfortable in their new home.
Although its the same bed and the same linens we had in Atlanta, none of them could get comfy, and none of them slept in after I got up to shower.
They are upset about the lack of sun spots to lounge in, and there aren't enough places to cuddle.
They're so unhappy, they haven't even been up to any of their usual basenji mischief, such as shredding the throw pillow I cut open so I could make a new cover.
They also do NOT like the new cat tower my mom gave us. Especially not Callie.
I have attached pictures so you can get a better idea of how upset and stressed out they are by the move.

Does anybody have any advice on how I can get them to be more comfortable in our new place? :D:D:D:D:D

That poor cat puts up with more Basenji bullsh*t…... She's a real saint.

I was really worried, until I saw the pics I hope your girls ALWAYS get along like that, how sweet! And congrats on the move!

You need 2 more towers, one for each of them! They look pretty happy to me, congrats on your move.

LOL… just goes to show that Basenjis adapt to new places... it is the humans that bring "calm" to the house and a move... and as far as sun spots... they are just not were they were before...ggg

Give them all time, they'll get used to it, adjust and get back to the old antics.

OMG see you're so far away that I didn't even get the joke until I saw the pictures! This is not a good sign. I don't get your humor anymore. This is tragic, it's the beginning of the end! :p

I was going to be like omg I'm getting updates on my bff's life through the forum? really?

Phew. I'm glad it's all ok and they're up to their usual mischief.

um…back to work.

WOw you had me so worried there for a while..until I opened the pics..looks like very happy b's..good to see.
I love the Callie snuggling on the couch pic=adorable..
…and the last with Spooky and Callie on the cat tree...heck they are all good.

[Andrew]

They are all actually adjusting really well. After Spooky got over her initial stress from the cat crate, nobody has had a problem. Well, mostly. Callie & Lola are running around crazy this morning because they haven't had any good exercise this week. They've got a lot of pent up energy, so we're going to try out some local parks and stuff today.
And Mauigirl, believe me, if the girls were really having trouble I would be on the phone with you crying.

Those poor creatures, i feel so sorry for them lounging all over the bed, cuddled under blankets and having to share Spooky's cat tower

When I first read the post I thought "woohoo maybe this means she will move back to Atlanta!". Then I saw the pics and said "drat".

Sorry to get your hopes up like that. But the guest room is all set up. Give me another week & I'll have the house basenji proofed, and you and your whole gang can come visit for an extended vacation!
