Club Cat boarding

In preparation for our big trip to New Zealand (blog posts coming up), we booked Paladin in a cattery in Los Angeles called Club Cat.

We took him there the day before we stored the coach, along with his food, cat bed, and carrier:

The Club Cat foyer:

His suite had a view box above the door, and platforms inside:

They also offered a web cam where we could watch him whenever we liked:

Plus they emailed “postcards” about every other day, with a cute message “from” him and a few photos, as shown in this post.

They have a large playroom with a bunch of toys, but he didn’t like that, perhaps because it was too open; he’s used to smaller spaces:

He kept asking to go back to his room:

So after trying the playroom a few times, we switched to fur therapies using a glove:

He really enjoyed that:

They were amused by his happy drool:

He got lots of pats and attention too:

Other than his dislike of the playroom, he seemed to enjoy his stay, and was well taken care of. But he was happy to see us when we picked him up after our trip, and happy to be home again.

We’d be happy to board him there again.
