Cat vocalising excessively

Guess_Who

I have a 3 year old rescue cat who is really well behaved at home. He's not allowed into my bedroom but never cries at the door or anything.

However, sometimes we have to stay in my parent's house as I'm the main support for my mum who is a full time carer for my dad. They also cat-sit for me if I have to travel for work or when I go on holidays as he gets stressed in boarding kennels. (Too old being socialised)

The problem is that when we're in my folk's house he hates being separated from me & will spend the night crying outside the bedroom door. I know the trigger is obviously being in a different house, but is there anything I can do to make it easier for him?

Have you tried a radio on low volume?

Could you leave a jumper or top that you've been wearing, outside the door for him to sleep on. He might find that comforting.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll give them a go next time

A little hot water bottle under a blanket might help, or having his feed before bed time. I realise this may not be ideal wrt toilet routine, but we have kittens at the moment (6 months) and I find giving them a good feed before bed and a hot water bottle wrapped in a fleecy blanket really helps to settle them down.

My cats have their own cat beds, if we are ever in another house bringing their own beds with us is a comfort to them, I think its a territory/scent thing!
