how does that vet know if your cats wouldn't settle - much better with the owners they know than new ones, or a pen in a rescue

nor is 9 old these days - and personally I would be more inclined to take older cats with me than younger ones, as young cats are much easier to rehome

I'm shocked that your vet said this. As Kay said, 9 isn't old. Our cats lived to twice that age.

We moved house when they were 11 and they settled in a couple of days.

You obviously need to keep cats indoors for several weeks and only let them outside if the circumstances are right. There are some places where I wouldn't let my cats go outside because of coyotes, hunters, etc.
