My nearly-20-year-old cat has always hated other animals, so

Try to at least have some familiar furniture layouts she can retreat to. I'm sure you have some blankets and mats she laid on from the old place, so just distribute those as appropriate. I mean, besides this and the obvious stuff the depend on schedules, like feeding and grooming, just give the cat time.

I misread this as my 20 yr old cat hates anime. i thought that cant be right

It takes a lot of time for them to adjust. If you can leave some blankets dirty and cat furniture dirty that helps. I've also left some of the cat litter dirty when moving the cat so that way they can smell their litter and recognize it easier.

How long has it been since the move?

We arrived on the evening of the 27th (I had set up most of the furniture beforehand), so it hasn't been long at all. It's just that I got this cat on my 5th birthday as my very first pet, and she's still mine and soft and cuddly as I'm nearly 25. The nine-hour trip here must have been really tough on her, even with the pheromone spray and cat Xanax, so I really want her to be happy and enjoy this new place.

I guess I'm just worrying too much. She's incredibly healthy despite her incredibly old age, but I know that she won't live forever, so I want her to be as happy as possible for the rest of her years.

You're over thinking it. It took my cat 2 days just to let me touch him after our move even though it was the exact same furniture arranged in the exact same way. Give him time to adjust

I knew a cat that was 26 this year, so she might still have a while left to go
