Have you ever moved from one place to another and asked yourself, “Do cats get depressed after you move apartments?”

The answer is yes, cats can experience depression or emotional distress after moving to a new home. Veterinary behavior research confirms that cats are highly territorial and form strong attachments to their environment. When that environment changes—especially suddenly—it can trigger stress and behavioral shifts that resemble human depression.

The American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) and the International Society of Feline Medicine (ISFM) emphasize that a cat’s mental well-being depends heavily on stability, familiarity, and control. A move disrupts all three. Common reactions include hiding, appetite loss, reduced grooming, and withdrawal from social interaction.

They need time, structure, and support to feel safe again. Without it, what looks like your cat “being moody” may actually be a sign of something deeper: depression brought on by instability.
