Hotel Stays With Cats

Hotels are unfamiliar territory for cats. With some preparation, you can make the experience manageable.

Setting Up

• Keep your cat in the carrier while you inspect the room
• Check for hazards: open windows, gaps behind furniture, toxic items
• Set up a “base camp” in one area with litter, food, water, and blanket
• Spray pheromones on corners and bedding

During Your Stay

• Put up the “Do Not Disturb” sign (prevents accidental door openings)
• Keep windows and balcony doors locked
• Maintain feeding and play routines
• If leaving the room, secure your cat in the bathroom with essentials
