Is this out of order or what?
Adrian wrote: "Sharon & Smudgie" wrote: "Lesley" wrote in message ... Some friends of mine are taking a European trip- so they put Ben their cat into a cattery. There was a bit of a panic as Ben went off his food for a day or so but then recommenced his usual inhaling of tuna etc. Her husband emailed a couple of times to ask how Ben was because they love him to bits so they wanted to be sure he was okay The cattery owner responded after 3 days of one short email just asking if Ben was okay by saying if he emailed her again she would call the police and sue him for criticising her professional judgement! They have cut their holiday short to get Ben back Is this unreasonable? All the emails were along the lines of "Hi it's me again- just wanting to know Ben is okay?" How hard would it be to type "He's fine"? Surely people who run catteries etc should be used to this sort of thing Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs I would have thought most catteries would expect the owners to email or call to ask after their pets. My local shelter boards cats for friends and are surprised if they don't hear from the owners at least once whilst they are away. I would have cut short my trip too! I do hope Ben is ok and home safe and sound now. We take holidays in 2's in our house so someone is there to look after Smudgie. It's a bit of a pain but means I get 2 holidays a year out of it Sharon I've heard that some catteries now have webcams so owners can see their babies while they're away. I think that is an excellent idea. Of course that's assuming you have internet access while traveling, but with so many Internet cafes and all the "smart phones" around these days I guess with a little searching, you can have. |

I live in the U.S., and that's a new one on me! What is it, a sort of BBB for the pet-care industry? Where are they located? look at www.yelp.com. It's a chance for consumers to evaluate businesses. Perhaps restaurants get a good portion of the reviews and ratings, but other businesses certainly get their fair share. Some businesses attempt to game the ratings by fake testimonials or fake diatribes against their competitors, but overall I think the site does a good job. I'm personally not a huge contributor, but sporadically describe the good and bad about places that I patronize. Art |
