The cats love the new apartment! Yay! Their first night over here they ripped and zoomed up and down the hallway, which isn't the behavior you'd expect from cats visiting a new place.
Yesterday, the 30th, marked the day that all of the animals were brought over. First came me and the cats, then the fish, then the mouse, and finally yesterday the rats. This being the last day of the month, a friend and I will pay one last visit to the old apartment to mop and return the keys. Yesterday we (well, actually he) shampooed the carpet and I wiped out the cabinets and refrigerator. As luck would have it, the landlord is out of town this week so thankfully there won't be any uncomfortable run-ins. I'm not too happy with that man and am glad to be moving on to a property where necessary repairs are tended to. And I have a dishwasher! Finally!
Only after a year and a half of being promised one...
The rent here is slightly less than the last apartment, though the kitchen cabinetry and appliances are newer and the place has a better "feng shui" to it. My nice linens that have been kept in storage over the past 2 years to protect them from kitty claws have been brought out (might as well), and the sofa received a good scrub with the Rug Doctor to remove the cat hair. Better still, Bob and Kritten have their scratching perch located at a sunny window overlooking the area where people walk their dogs.
There's still plenty to unpack but so far so good. We all appear to be digging our new home.
