will my cat be traumatised by a two-week stint in a cattery2007-11-25 12:33:18

i am going on holiday soon? will kitty think he has been abandoned if i send him to a cat's home? do they look after him properly? i mean, do they talk to him + give him attention or is it cruel + clinical?

Answers:

I put my cat in a cattery for two weeks. Make sure they have homey stuff with them. I brought her bed and toys and even her own litter (silica pearls). I made sure the cattery was a clean and secure place that had cat doors to outside areas for sunning.

The staff were great with her. I even noticed when I came back that they had attached a note to her door saying that she liked to play in her water and to make sure she had water and her bedding didn't get wet. They obviously cared for her very well. When we got her home It was like nothing happened.

Hope you find a place that cares the same as Arrowsmith Pet Lodge did for Boo.

im sure any cattery is a cattery because of the experience they have with the feline friend. u cat MAY get a lil upset at 1st, but will soon settle down to her new surroundings!

no, it's not a child, it's a cat. Cat's don't have brains like humans although we like to project human emotions onto them. They will look after your cat very well, they will talk to it, let it out to do it's business and feed it regularly. It might come back a little porkier than it was but it will soon lose the weight once it comes home.

Traumatized? He'll probably be a little freaked out once you get back and he's back home. Cats do not like change. I mean, I can't even rearrange my furniture without the cat sneaking up on something that wasn't there a minute ago, lol.
