The move down from AK was fun. I stopped in a local hotel in South Dakota and told them not to clean my room. I had two cats. I come back after eating lunch and I noticed the blinds were open. I told my husband they cleaned the room. He looked at me and said how do you know. Told him the blinds. I found one cat under the bed the bed in the back corner. I hate crawling under someone else's bed. The dust bunnies were bigger the me.
I could not find the second cat. So I went to the front office and I was mad. I spoke to the young man and said why did you clean my room. I told you not to clean my room and now I cannot find my cat. He then said I do not see a not not to clean the room. Yes I did, the a man in the back of the room said yes she did. Come to find out it was the managers husband. He said when she checked in she said do not clean the room because the cats hate the sweeper.
He then called his wife and asked me if I had a picture of the cat. I said I did and he made copies and posted them in the hotel. I started to cry because it started to snow. The cat had never been out of the house and she did not have her front claws. The hotel was next to a busy highway and I could not find her after three hour search. The manager was not helpful.
The next morning we had to leave. My has and had together to his new job. We could not find the cat. The manger husband said he would look for her.
I wrote to the hotel chain. I called the hotel for 45 days the gave up. I set them a bill for $500.00 for the loss of my cat. Three days later the mangers husband called me and said he thought he found my cat. She was staying with the rabbit by the dryer vents and did not know how to catch her I told him to go to the local human society they would not sry the trap but the had traps. Told him to put wet cat food in the cage and he could get her. He did catch her, took her to the vet and took care of her for two weeks before he could fly her out. I got her back on my birthday in December she had lost weight and it two her two weeks before she would come around me again. I thought she was dead and had gotten a kitten a week before the phone call. Now I have three cats now. Thanks to them
Now ever night when I come home she follows me. I am writing this and she is sleeping next to me. She just want contact for a couple of hour each day and no more. Before hand she would not be bothered with you. Now she needs contact and attention. She just wants to make sure she is loved and someone will take care of her.
I wrote the hotel chain back and told how helpful the managers husband was and sent him money for the airplane fare.
Happy she is back in the family
