I prefer to board my cats at a caring cat hotel because:
Several years ago one of my cats fainted on the scratching post at his cat
hotel. Just fainted & went limp. A freaky thing. The owner saw it happen,
called her Vet who made a housecall. Cat got an EKG immediately, diagnosis and
prompt treatment.
If the cat had been at home with a kindly relative/neighbor/friend/ coming in
once or twice a day to feed, he would have been dead.
Cats do not like changing environments, but I prefer that mine be watched. And
eventually, if they board at their hotel often enough, they begin to think of
it as their second home....and the owner as family. If a cat requires
medication, a kennel keeper is more likely to be knowledgeable about
administering it properly that any neighbor/friend/relative.
It costs me arms & legs, but my peace of mind is worth that.

Thanks for your assistance one and all.  I went to see a place today and
it's perfect.  The woman knew all about F.I.V.  all the current residents
looked happy and healthy and it's only ?5 a night.

From one pleased puss owner!
