Why do cats come back from the cattery with the most annoying meows?
Is it just mine that this happens to? :P
It also appears that they peed on their blankets and in their cat boxes all week, because they absolutely ming :|
Still, at least they're completely ours until August now :D

Oooh, you managed to get them back with no problems then??

Glad to hear they're back safe and sound with you now though.. :)

We did pay for 1 double-charge day but not the other in the end. I'm just glad to have them back, but they're different and unsettled and keep pissing everywhere.. I don't like sending them away :( I don't think it was a very good cattery really because although Phoebe was jumpy and had a weird mournful meow last time she came back from a cattery, she wasn't this bad!

Re:

At least they had each other though.. whenever I have to send my dog to a boarding kennel he's always going on his own.. oh god, now I feel really bad that I do that to him, the poor thing :(

Also, at least you didn't have to pay 2 lots of the double-charge.. and, isn't it great to have them home again? :)

We just noticed that Dylan has a cut and a big bald patch on his head, so I'm not sure that they got on too well! :/
I hate this :( I wish I never had to send them away :(
It is good to have them back :) Even if they do smell.

Awww, poor cats peeing everywhere. :-(
We're doing well at training Belle to be sick in the kitchen if she's going to be sick. She's sick usually every month or so when she's got a hairball (her fur is realllllllllllly long), she does a howling thing when she's going to be sick and all we need to do is shout "Belle!" and she runs into the kitchen and over to her litter tray and is sick on that. Good girl! The only bummer thing is sometimes we get home from work and she's been sick on the carpet and we have to get scrubbing then! Heh.

Their cat boxes and blankets were soaking wet and stank of piss, and there was mud all over their boxes although they shouldnt have been anywhere muddy :( It's very worrying!
Our cats have never had a furball! Phoebe has been sick a few times, but Dylan never has to our knowledge. Isn't that mad? We don't groom them either so by rights they should be coughing up furballs all the time!

[jeweleee]

Belle is only really sick when there's a furball on the way, she's trying to cough it up and ends up coughing up her food instead. Do your cats go out? If they do, maybe they cough up their fur while they're out. Belle has a few good hairballs a year, they're awful, when I first saw one on the carpet I thought it was a slug! ROFL!

[blink_lu]

Our's never have furballs either.... I would have thought that they'd have had a couple by now...but nevermind.....

Hope that the pussy cats feel better and settled again soon...

Re:

Yours have pretty short fur though dont they? Ours have different fur.. longer and fluffier (especially Phoebe who is nothing but bones and fluff!!) But they're not long haired..

I think they will be OK. Dylan is back to sleeping on the heater and Phoebe is sleeping on her chair :)

Re:

[blink_lu]

They're a bit fluffier now for winter...and stipey has a few secluded bald patches...but yes, they aren't big fluffy monsters....

[oblivious]

My cat is awful when he comes back, he has a constant pitiful meow and he just comes in and out of the house constantly (never in or out for longer than 2 minutes :p)

He makes me feel like the nastiest person in the world for leaving him despite the fact he gets to eat that Iams food (have you seen the price?!) and they give him fresh salmon and play with him all the time and when they're not around the cattery they leave the bloody radio on for them so they don't get lonely :P

He gets better holidays than I do I swear :p

Re:

[seren]

yes that's exactly what these two did for the first hour or two!! it's over now thank god :)
It sounds like a very nice cattery. I doubt this one was like that, judging by the state they came back in :( *sobs*

[oblivious]

Picking mine up in the morning, it feels dead weird not having them here!
It's an expensive business though, ours are 90 quid for a week because we have to put them in seperately (they'd kill each other in seconds if they were together) :p
Hard to find a nice cattery, before we started using this one we had mine in another place, he came back terrified and skinny because he was housed right next to dogs :( Now he just comes back fat and snobby :p

Re:

[seren]

Its horrible being home without them isnt it? :( When we got back from Wales I would keep thinking "At least our kitties will be here" but they weren't! Argh.
Yeah our cattery was basically a shed in the middle of loads of dogs :( They call themselves the Kennels as well :/ I hope we can find a nice cattery in Bristol.
P&D were sharing a pen and it was £11 a night for the two or £6 if separate.. so £77, plus the double charge for xmas day and boxing day (of which we only paid one because nobody told us about it) and thre £15 delivery charge. I am feeling too panicky to add that up but its more than we can afford :/

[farmboydan]

We only ever left our dog in a kennel once and it was over the Christmas period (we went to Butlins- how f*?king glamorous is that?!). When he came back he sulked for a few days also he had lost his bark where he'd been howling so much, also for good measure he had kennel cough!

Suffice to say we never ever left him in kennels again and spoilt him rotten for ages after (well for the rest of his life basically!) as recompense!!

Didn't realise that cats could develop different meows, have they been hanging out with cats from different areas of the country lol?!

:)

Re:

[seren]

Well, Dylan normally has a very high pitched meow, and Phoebe doesn't meow as such, she kind of chirps :p
But they came back sounding deep and mournful for a day :(

[farmboydan]

They just need their mummy to spoil them rotten for a few days and they'll be right as rain again.

Set them up on the sofa with the remote control, box of chocolates and the Sex in the City DVD (new series starting this week on Channel 4 HOORAY!)- let them chill!

:)
