Very helpful thank you

If I had wanted opinions on our plans I would have asked for them.

In case you didn't know catteries are expensive and, more importantly,
pretty grim for the animals.


In defence of some really great catteries I object to that
statement.Have
you actually *been* to any catteries? My nearest one is a veritable
paradise for cats. Huge chalets and runs, an aviary in the centre to
watch, the best of everything, heated, in the countryside, and an owner
who is potty about cats and spends hours every day playing with her
boarders. Music playing in the block too.If my cats went there, they
would feel hard done by having to come back with me :0(
Another aquaintance has a superb modern cattery struated in the middle
of woodland, plenty of birds about, trees to watch, huge pens, heated
etc. What is grim about either of them?
I think you are motivated by cost here and nothing else. Your poor cats
will get settled in with a new person in a new home, then when it is
convenient to you, you want them back. Not fair at all.


oldmolly:

What is true where you live, may not be where he lives. Conditions vary
all over the world. Where I live now, there are great "catteries" (we call
them vet shelters here).

Where I used to live was horrible. I'm just glad I had friends to take
care of my furry friends when I left for family visits while I lived there
- because the local places were horrible.

Sorry, but I had to give my two cents. One can't take one's fur-family
with them on such a vacation (that would be horrible for the furries); but
do you seriously expect someone to give up *all* of their lives for them
either?

Your comments strike me as having been sparked from jealousy. Well, I'm
not rich enough to take a around the world trip, but neither will I
begrudge anyone else their vacations. In the future please learn that not
everyone is like yourself, and it's pretty damned arrogant to expect them
to be. Learn some tolerance. If we lived in GB we would gladly watch his
cats for the time they need. Unfortunately, we're half a world away...

Just because someone can afford to take an extended vacation does not
mean they are heartless and cruel. I can't afford it, but I have relatives
who are world travelers, and they aren't like that at all. So stuff your
comment back where it came from.

Sorry, but that was a bull**** post, and you know it. I'll get off the
Anger Horse now. Isn't often that ignorance sparks it, but it did this
time.

John, good luck in finding someone. I haven't posted re your post before
this because I didn't know anyone who could help, and I didn't want to
waste your time. But this post lit my fuse - didn't qualify as a troll,
but someone needed some lecturing. Off the soapbox now...

Purrs from the family.
