Thread: Any advice on boarding cats?

When we took Merlyn we packed the collapsable pen just in case but only used it to let him sit outside the front door first thing in the morning & say hello to passers by,the rest of the time he either sat on the different windowsills bird watching {feather kind} or came out in the garden with us on his harness.I think you are so tuned into keeping windows & doors closed that even while you are away it is a natural instinct,it normally takes us a couple of days to relax & not worry because the cats aren't there,first time someone leaves a door open panic mode sets in for a few seconds.....
