Weirdest post ever alert!!

I have to stay overnight in a hotel soon with Thomas. I can find ones that accept cats but I can save £20 if I use one that doesn’t accept them and just smuggle him in.
He’s a very placid quiet BSH, ultra clean and well behaved.

Would you smuggle and save £20 or be honest and pay up?

I just think of all the toys I can buy him for £20 :thumbsup:

Lol I wouldn't they'd know something was up straight away with me because my face would be bright red
I want to know how you're going to manage it lol you'll need litter tray , carrier unless your going to use a shopping bag or suitcase I want to know you're grand plan

 

[khyros]

just out of curiosity.. what do you do with the cat while in the hotel? do you also carry a litter tray, food bowls and everything? I just tought about it and you need to smuggle in a lot of stuff right?

I think for £20 is not worth the risk..

 

[merlin12]

I´d pay up, imagine if they find out and you are even asked to pay more, a photograph of you is taken and posted to every single hotel...it could get really horrible 8especially for Thomas)

 

[sarahecp]

I would rather pay the extra in case I was found out and asked to leave and then have no where else to stay.

Litter tray and bowls will fit in my bag easy peasy.

I have a large bag which has sturdy sides, so is basically like a bag style cat carrier. If i get a lower floor room it will be a short trip in a bag haha.
:lol:

I think I need to go and have a word with myself..... haha

Lol what do you recommend I do with him. Same as at home, cuddle him and watch tv

 

[Cookieandme]

Pay the £20 - I don't know you tight folk from Yorkshire

I blame the pregnancy hormones :yikes:

I wonder what other ideas I will come up with in coming months. ....

I feel very sorry for whoever gets me as their Secret Santa buyer haha

Lets hope he doesnt meeeeeow whilst youre checking in

I might check in and leave him in carrier in car while I put stuff in room, then go back for him. If i dress him up as a guide dog he can go for free

SMUGGLE in the beautiful Thomas????

Deprive him of all the ooh'ing, ahh'ing, fussing and admiration that he would undoubtably receive from all around him??? For a mere 20 quid????

You are an evil slave!!!!!!


:lol: :lol: :lol:

My sister and her family recently stayed in a well known chain hotel. One of my nephews dropped something and it went under the bed - when he went to get it he got a handful of cat poop!!
The hotel denied that they ever have pets in the room and said as it was on the ground floor maybe a fox had got in.
Then the next day they noticed a small pile of dry cat food under the desk area!!

someone must of smuggled a cat in so it obviously can be done!!
Luckily it did mean they got their hotel stay for free!!

 

[Jiskefet]

I wouldn't risk it.
What if the maid comes in to make your bed and clean the bathroom while you're out and Thomas escapes?
If they know there is a cat in there they will take care not to let him out.....

 

[Treaclesmum]

I wouldn't risk it!

Thomas might feel the need to mark his 'new territory' and might go to the loo in unexpected places.....

Both my friend and I are staying at an ibis prior to the Doncaster show with our cats. I know that she has smuggled one of her cats into a hotel on a previous stay as they wanted to charge an extortionate rate for her cat to stay.

I completely forgot to mention my cat would be staying when I booked online but believe the ibis charge around £20 too. I think I will probably call up and pay the excess this week. If anyone let my cat escape I would be most displeased so at least if that happens, and I have notified the hotel it will be entirely them at fault.

I am so nervous that Bernard is going to have a 'rock and roll' moment and trash the place.... Hope £20 will cover it!

 

[LucyLastic88]

I'd definitely pay the extra. I mean, £20, that won't even buy a gallon of fuel in the UK!



Ok, exaggeration mode turned off, just wanted to slip in a quick fuel rant

Exactly. Plus the charge is there for a reason - there may well be extra cleaning they have to do after a pet has stayed (not saying Thomas is going to be having wild parties or anything!) and although £20 might sound a lot, I reckon being upfront and paying the fee is the right thing to do.

I would advise to pay that charge. Apart from reasons mentioned earlier (possibility of escape; extra cleaning which will be necessary) there is one more thing - sometimes hotels are visited by people with severe allergies; in such cases staff is told to clean room more thoroughly than usually, but if hotel knows that a pet was in room recently, that room just won't be considered when a room for person with health issues is chosen.

 

[chillminx]

Personally I'd pay the charge, after all £20 is not excessive. And it would be so embarrassing to be *found out* by hotel staff if you'd smuggled him in. I would die of shame if it were me, at being exposed as *dishonest*!
