We just have a cat flap so they can come and go as they please while we are away and we get my parents to come round to feed them and give them a bit of a fuss each day. The only checks are that that they haven't got into a room that will be left closed or locked and haven't decided the investigate in the car while it is open for packing! So more a case of "Where aren't the f*cking cats?" SteveW |

No. It is not full of old slappers, I've been there and it is quite nice. However: The fish and chips was not too wonderful and the little figures of the bloke with the teeth who landed there did not impress me. |

I could never get mine back into any kennel that had ever had him once, drove everyone mad howling for me. He was fine left at home with someone coming in to check that he was doing fine daily.
