Thread: Holidays

Just spoken with a friend who thankfully loves cats and they've agreed to house sit for the time where away... GREAT.. think i best start making a "know your maine coon" kit for when they come round

Great! Best not tell them too much....!!

Well at the moment they think there going to get mauled when they meet him, so if there willing now then i think we should be good :D

I find with 4 cats holidays are a rare thing for us but when we do go off they are usually cared for my a family member popping in.

Hehe, maybe he will have calmed down a bit by the time you go away. Just make sure he never learns how to open cupboards.....

i know i know, we need to buy some of those child safe plastic locks for the cupboards, i reckon he's about 2 weeks from getting onto the counters as he's started to "climb" up the vegetable rack. he was almost in the oven on sunday night

Not on the counters yet? Hey, that's impressive! Our 2 little devils soon learned it was a quick leap from kitchen chair to counter before you could say 'Oiiiii!!!!'

Hi there
I am dealing with the same problem as you at christmas when we go away for a week. I had planned to use the same cattery as my mother in law uses for her cat as it comes highly recommended (incidentally that cattery is in Slaley, we are quite near you!) but it is unfortunately booked up already! Looks like my mother in law's cat took the last space at the cattery!

So if you do need to go for the cattery option 'Blackburn cattery' in slayley, hexham is apparently very good. The lady spends some time with the cats giving them some attention and as I have said, my mother in law uses it fairly regularly. Oh and I think it costs around about £70/week/cat and a bit less if you have 2 cats sharing an 'apartment'!

House Sitter, is what we use... someone who takes care of the cats and the plants.. and the house.. Our is great she even Hoovers!!

Don't forget to mention Peekaboo - in my limited experience, if people aren't briefed for that it scares the crap out of them (including me the first time Freyja did it!).
