How long should I keep cats indoors when I move to a new house to prevent them from running away?

I will be moving house shortly and need to move 3 dogs and 4 cats. The dogs I can deal with, just fence them in, but cats escape and often run away, or try to return to their previous location.

How long should I contain the cats indoors before I allow them to leave the house? I will be living on the edge of a village, and have in 3000 sq yards of land, so they will have plenty of room to roam.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The source below says three weeks. It also has some other good advice for helping cats adjust to a move:

Do not let the cats out of the house without being on a leash for at least two to four weeks after the move. Even though it is tempting, do not open their cages during the transition from the old house to new unless you are in an enclosed space where they cannot escape. Cats will return to their previous house until they learn the new location.
