Back around St. Patrick’s Day, we moved Shadow, Mystery, and Blitzen from my parents’ old house to their new house. My mom and sister had around a three hour drive with them. Luckily, they didn’t cry too long. My mom said that as soon as they realized they weren’t going to the vet, they got quiet.
I met them at my parents’ house. Shadow and Blitzen did not want to come out of the carriers. 
After a while though, Shadow was actually the first on to explore outside of a room.
Mystery decided to survey things from above.
Blitzen started to explore and then the furnace turned on and she bolted back. All three of them spent a good deal of time cowering. My mom was worried about Blitzen because she was beginning to go back to her former ways (such as cowering with ears laid back). Mystery and Shadow regressed too. When we first got them they slept / hid under my dad’s recliner. We found them under a recliner.
Mystery and Blitzen did do some exploring the first day or so.
My mom is still at the old house. My dad lost Blitzen. She didn’t come out to get her food. My dad has an ear problem and can’t hear very well so he didn’t know if she was crying somewhere. Luckily, I got a day off from subbing and went down to see if I could find her. My dad was dragging his feet about calling in outside help. There is a room in the basement that has access to the rafters. He thought she might have gotten there. I called to her and climbed up to look. I heard her crying but couldn’t figure out exactly where the sound was coming from. It was maddening. I looked at the cobwebs and found there was only one spot that looked like she could have been through there, unless the spiders were very fast. My dad came home and was able to use what I told him to figure out where she might be. There is a section of wall that sticks out farther to allow for pipes to run down. She had fallen down there. We didn’t know for sure until my dad knocked a hole in the wall because she had stopped crying. I had to reach in there and pull her out. I was a bit nervous since she was facing me and has been known to attack. Luckily she let me grab her and drag her out. She was a mess. I’ll put it this way she was in the wall for two days without a litter box. She started to bolt, but I caught her before she got too far. I cleaned her up as best I could in the bathroom. She was crazy about my trying to stick her in a sink full of water.
One of the first things she did was eat. She also was rubbing us to be petted. Other than a scratch on her nose she was fine. The room that has access to the rafters is now shut off. Mystery, Shadow, and Blitzen have now adjusted fine and are driving my dad nuts. 
I wonder if he appreciates his new fans
