Hey,
We moved house last weekend and we are just getting settled. The kitties seem to be liking their bigger house except yesterday Pickle soiled by the front door. She has done this before at the old house, did it 2 or 3 times and then she stopped. Im guessing the house move has stressed her out and shes not used to a larger house.
How can i calm her down and re-assure her??

This could be territorial. She's saying, "this is MY home!". Big cats do this in the wild. Poops have a longer lasting marking effect than wees.
My guess is that she'll stop doing it when she feels more at home in your new place.

Feliway diffusers would be a good idea and spraying some of the feliway spray on prominant areas plus the area she has soiled might help.

Glad your move went ok........its early days yet, im sure this wont last long......... x
The more time in house the confidence will grow......then just think of that great "outback" they'l have :)
