The Cat's Cradle

I just went to view a nearby cattery for my cats to stay at when I go away on holiday in September. It was lovely, and Beverley, the owner, was so lovely with all the cats, I booked it straightaway. She gave me a brochure with all the info, and I just wanted to share with you the section called 'About your cat's stay', it is so sweet...
"Our cattery nestles in a large and tranquil garden. Our guests are housed in individual suites, which open onto a safety passage. Infrared heating is provided.
Each suite is beautifully presented and comprises of a spacious, double glazed indoor sleeping area, and an outdoor run with pretty views.
Heating, carpets and soft bedding are supplied free of charge.
Guests are entertained throughout their stay by a bubbling water feature and a selection of wildlife visitors who find the flower garden irresistible. Soft music and wind chimes add to the ambience.
Room service is provided, and offers a complete range of dishes tailored to suit the requirements of our guests. The en suite bathroom boasts a large covered litter tray filled with quality Fuller's earth litter.
Cuddles come as standard.
Our guests are welcome to bring their favourite blankets, scratching posts and toys.
The Cat's Cradle is truly a feline oasis in the heart of the Black Country. While you enjoy your holiday, you can be assured that your cat is holidaying too!"
I love the way they call the cats 'guests', and that they will be staying in 'suites' and they will have 'room service'! I think I might stay there myself!! I've been telling the boys that I have just booked them a stay in a 'cat spa' heehee!

that is so great. how long will they be there? i never left my cats at a guesthouse. i always had them at home, with caregivers coming in. i was always fearful that a strange environment would make them lonely and afraid. and very pissed off at me.
do your cats get with other cats or are they always by themselves?

That sounds so neat. And I really like the name!
I will be gone for about 10 days and have a friend who will come in twice a day to let the dogs out and feed the dogs and cats. I have boarded the dogs before, but waited too long and the vet was booked. I have never left them alone for this long before. The dogs love to travel and I have left the cats home alone for 4 days with plenty of dry food and water, and clean litter boxes.

hehe!! I think your cats will love it.
When we go away we have a critter sitter that comes in a few times a day to let the dogs out and play. They feel better being at home than going to a kennel even though going to a kennel would be cheaper. The sitter leaves a message/note for every visit to tell us how the dogs did. She always gives them good grades. They must be on their best behavior for her!! haha.

I'm with Loretta....I want to go and be pampered...minus the litterbox and cat food, ofcourse :lol: :lol: :lol: I bet your kittys are looking forward to their spa treatment/vacation 8) 8) 8)
That is interesting history on where you live!! Where my son lives they have to have the same kind of surveys only for underground caves that create some pretty nasty sink holes! Do you still have some of the coal dust in the air?? I wondered if it ever went completely away?

The cattery sounds lovely Mary! My vet's wife had a "Pet Resort" where zzyzx stayed once, tho' it wasn't quite so posh as yours sounds. :wink: They had large airy "rooms" with 2 levels, some of which had a window in the outside wall where they could sit, and a "play room" where they would take the cats at least once a day (as I recall), where they told me zzyzx only huddled under one of the 'condos'! lol
