My experience is that she (and you)might hate it at the time but she will forgive you and there will be endless cuddles when you're both back home.Has anyone had much experience with catteries/cat hotels? I usually take my cat to a family members or a friends but they are both moving house so I’m going to have to book her in. I’m worried she will hate me and be really miserablethe place has great reviews, the cats seem really happy (they have an Instagram page) but the thought of her being there and not having me makes me so sad
I used one once with my two when they were little... they were both really angry with me for about half a day when they got back, I think they thought they'd been abandoned.. like you I had no choice, I think it's basically impossible for them to like it no matter how nice it is/the staff are as cats don't really cope well with changes of environment. No advice I'm afraid but he will be fineHas anyone had much experience with catteries/cat hotels?

I don't have much advice on older cats, but the flinching seems normal,though depends what it looks like I guess, if it's what I'm imagining then most cats I've ever know do that!Advice on an old boy greatly appreciated! I was given this beautiful old man (15 years old!) from a neighbour. Took him to the vet about a month ago for a yearly check up; they said he's in great health aside from a bit of muscle wastage on his back legs (nothing advised, I give him joint supplements anyway) and that his teeth aren't in good nick but the vet said surgery at his age is just too much, and they'll do. He stuffs his face every chance he gets!
But he's my first cat and so every little thing worries me - sometimes he seems to flinch when I touch his back, especially if he's asleep, is this normal? He likes to spend the evening asleep on this shoe rug outside too, bizarrely. What are the 'things' to watch out for with older cats? I love this big lump with all my heart and only want the best for him.

What a sweet old ginger bear. My cats have done that flinching thing when their backs are touched as well, there might be a sensitive spot there.Advice on an old boy greatly appreciated!
