Moving to a new home can be stressful, and when you add pets into the mix, it can feel overwhelming trying to help them adjust, but, as one owner experienced, each pet reacts differently.

Abi, who is known on TikTok as @abi.and.their.thoughts, recently moved to a new apartment with their Jack Russell Chihuahua and cats. In the midst of the empty home and boxes, the owner quickly noticed their two pets reacting differently.

The August 30 TikTok video shows the small dog running around the apartment with a giant smile on her face. Her tail wagged with excitement at the new territory. The owner, however, couldn’t keep up with her, asking the dog to please stop for a moment.

Then, the camera panned to the side of the room as the owner checked in on the cat. Unlike her happy doggy sibling, this cat wanted nothing to do with the move. She stayed glued to the back of the cat carrier, refusing to come out.

Newsweek reached out to @abi.and.their.thoughts via TikTok for additional information and comment.

The owner shared in the comment section that while the dog looked beyond excited about the new space, she ended up puking in the only carpeted room of the house.

What surprised this owner was the cat. Another comment revealed that the cat, Charlotte, does not normally have an issue with moving. This time was different. She hid in the carrier all day before exploring a bit at night. Then, she went back to hiding in the closet with the other cat, which again caught the owner off guard as these felines “hated each other” before the move.

When it comes time to settle into the new home, it may be tempting for you to let your dog or cat loose and explore. However, an article from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) stated that the new and unfamiliar space can be overwhelming.

Instead, start by letting them explore one room at a time. Be sure to keep their favorite toys, treats, water and food bowls in the room or “home base” area. As they become comfortable, gradually introduce them to other rooms while keeping other doors shut.

For cats, you’ll want to relocate the litter box to a more permanent location by slowly moving it over time. The article suggested moving it one foot each day. Slow and steady wins the race to get them feeling like themselves in their new home.

Viewer Reactions

With over 1.6 million views on TikTok as of Wednesday, the internet was left in stitches over the cat and dog’s reactions to the move, calling it “extroverts vs introverts.”

“The dog is like, ‘There’s so much more room for activities! You should’ve got rid of everything sooner!'” joked a viewer.

Another added: “The dog was like on a loop.”

Meanwhile, someone else pointed out: “Kitty needs 5-10 business days.”
