This is why I appreciate it when websites are clear about the presence of animals on the property or in the inn. Sorry I don't want to sleep in the hair, have breakfast with the flying birds or monkeys or have to look before I step.And today, both cats played Escape Artist and flipped open the gate because DH forgot to latch it. ( My little Cole listens for the latch to lock and if he doesn't hear the locking sound, knows he can open it!)
All my guests were either lounging in our common room or eating in the dining room and wanted the cats to stay in the guest area! I apologized for the show and explained they weren't supposed to be there. So they were all satisfied to scratch just scratch their little chins and pet their heads. My two are so sociable it's hard to not let them roam but I would be able to keep up with all the cleaning involved..Happy to hear you keep them separate. I cannot tell you how many places we have stayed with little to no mention of 'wildlife' that is allowed to roam freely. One place had birds in the dining room. IN THE DINING ROOM. Flying free. Pooping freely. Another had dogs that jumped on the sofa to bark (in my ear) out the window. Another place had a dog begging for scraps at the table.2cat_lady said:And today, both cats played Escape Artist and flipped open the gate because DH forgot to latch it.

Every one of those innkeepers expressed it this way - my pets, my home, deal with it. We did. We never went back even tho one of the places was near where my daughter lived for several years. Another one is one of the only places open in the winter. Sorry. I'm going to pay $100 more/night next month to stay somewhere with no pets roaming free.
Asking to visit with the inn pets is fine. Being expected to have breakfast with them or share the couch with them is so many kinds of wrong.

It is the end the season. I'm a bit cranky. I'm really looking forward to our break.
