Cats are no longer an animal, they are a family member to all pet lover. However, as owners, we also have our life which requires us to give a choice between ourselves and our furry friends. It’s understandable!
Some people prefer to travel with their cats, but it’s never be a good option. Why? Unlike dogs, cats are not used to an active life, they would love their own space with delicious food and scratch board (you know why right?). This leads to some hard questions for pet parents:
How long should we leave cats alone?
Research shows that cats shouldn’t be left along for more than 24 hours.
Similar to human, cats also need interaction and stimuli daily. It is acceptable if you leave your cat at home during your workday, which is normally around 9 hours. However, staying away from your cat for a few days will impact their daily habit as well as mental health more than you can imagine.
What are risks of leaving cats home alone?
- Run out of food and water
What if your cat unintentionally spill the water tray but you cannot go back home to top up during your 7-day trip? Even worse if water spread to electricity devices area.
Being provided with enough food and clean water is essential for house cats as they almost lose their instinct to survive compared to community cat.
- Feel anxious and depressed
Although cats are an independent piece, companionship is really important to a healthy cat. Seeing their owners around or being cuddled are as crucial as enough daily food supply. If you notice some of cats’ behaviours including excessive meowing, self-grooming or fast eating…, there is higher chance that your cat is having separation anxiety.
- Get injured or ill
Weather changes or improper kitty-proof home is something we may not fully control, but it will become a danger factor to cats, especially while you are not able to secure them on time. Anxious cats will show strange behaviour than their day-to-day habits, so any corner of your house can become vital factors.
Why cat hotel is the best choice during your absence?
- Keep your cat safe
With 24/7 observation and closed space, your cat is assured to live in a secure environment – which is the most important reason that cat boarding is trusted by most pet owners.
At The Tails Zone, all cats are labeled based on their behaviour and health status, which makes sure cats are protected.
- Be sure of endless food and water supply
With multiple eyes on your cat, he/she is always provided with sufficient food and clean water. Whether kibble or wet food, or how many times per day your cat should be fed… all information will be confirmed when you first bring your cat to The Tails Zone.
To not change our furry friends’ habit, we will customize their portion and time exactly as when they are home, including their food brand.
- Daily litter box cleaned
Uncleaned little box is a harmful factor to cats’ health, especially if cats tend to “release” several times per day.
If you choose Villa type at The Tails Zone, this task is handled well by automatic litter box from Petkit. Other than that, our pet-friendly staffs are more than willing to scoop each litter box at least twice per day.
Besides, cat litter in each room is fully changed immediately after each boarding time, so your baby cat will never use the same litter with the previous one.
- Entertainment and cuddles are provided
Being one of cats’ essential needs, entertainment should be provided daily to amuse cats. Everyday at The Tails Zone, each cat will have own entertaining time (30 minutes) out of their kennel. This period is guaranteed belonging to one cat per session only, which helps to keep cats safe.
However, this benefit is per request. If the owners would prefer their cats to stay in kennel only, The Tails Zone will confirm cats’ privacy time through their boarding period.
- Emergency support in severe situations
Some cats have weak immune system or random disease which can emerge anytime without prior notice. Being taken care by a professional cat hotel, our furry friends are ensured to be protected during their owners’ absence.
When boarding with The Tails Zone, your cats will be checked and confirmed health status to be labeled and given more eyes through their stay.
- Customized experience to bring home-feelings
Cats are more emotional and sensitive than we think. Changing living environment in short period may becomes a big shock to some, which impact directly their habit.
Understanding this, we provides customized journey to imitate cats’ daily life the most. From food, litter to their entertainment needs, owners can always discuss and align every single details to bring the best experience to your cats’ journey at The Tails Zone.
