Each cottage will take up to four cats ( from the same household) or combined
with allow up to eight cats.
The cottages are also available for one or two cats. If you would like to give
your cats that extra comforts and space.
Each cottage has a stool and stairway to upper level and two double fleeced lined beds as well as carpet
mats. There are upstairs and downstairs windows, outside chairs and scratch frame
for fun and as a look out post within a large included covered area. Views include the natural pond and it's wildlife
and is within sight of the main cattery block. The cottages
are insulated to help keep guests warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The automatic
thermostatic controls the temperature 24/7.
As and
when seasonable weather permits all our guests will have
access to natural grown wheat grass.
Some cat owners
make the mistake of preventing their cat from eating grass. There are various
reasons for this, one being that they think it makes their cat ill or upsets
their stomach. This is an incorrect assumption and in fact the eating of grass
followed by regurgitation is a perfectly natural behaviour for all cats.
Cats do not possess the ability to separate meat from fur bones or feathers
before eating like we do so they have to eat the digestible parts along with the
indigestible parts. When the cat has finished digesting what he can the rest has
to be removed from the system. To try and pass this through the digestive tract
could cause obstruction and severe illness so this is where grass eating comes
in.
The habit of eating grass triggers the natural process of regurgitation of
indigestible foods including its own fur balls which would otherwise obstruct
the system. This can appear to us humans as if the cat is being violently ill
but this is not the case and in fact is very beneficial
