Most people in Los Angeles, and all over the world for that matter, consider cats to be extremely self-sufficient and introverted – they enjoy human interaction, but only on their terms, and they usually show love in ways that seem tough, such as playful biting. While they are typically very self-sufficient animals, some cats suffer from separation anxiety. When a cat suffers from separation anxiety, it means that they do not like being alone. This anxiety can flare up when the cat is separated from their owner or another pet which they have a strong connection with. 


One very common sign of separation anxiety in cats is the need to be around their owner or companion constantly, even following them from room to room. Other signs of separation anxiety are distress when they can tell their owner is about to leave, meowing or crying loudly when their owner leaves, not eating when alone, and defecating or urinating while inside the house, even if they are house trained.

If you suspect your cat might be suffering from separation anxiety, there are a few measures you can take. Try adding new climbing structures to your home so your cat can get a good view of the outside world. You can also get a few things to keep your cat’s attention while you are away – this can be scratching posts, mobile toys filled with catnip, or even a ball filled with kibble bits. You could also try leaving the television or radio on so your furry friend thinks they have a bit of company. If your cat has separation anxiety, you may feel guilty leaving them alone for a few hours, so vacations are out of the question, right? Cat only boarding is an excellent way to keep your kitty feeling safe and comfortable while you enjoy some vacation time yourself. Cat only boarding facilities are exactly what they sound like – hotels for cats. The Cateau Marmont isn’t like all most cat only boarding facilities in Los Angeles, though. They are the crème de la crème of cat only boarding. Your furry friend will be entertained throughout the day with toys, scratching posts, and one-on-one playtime with the trained veterinary technicians that the Cateau Marmont employs. You can even request to Skype with your cat to make them feel even more at home!

Take the stress of traveling off of yourself and your pet by booking them a lavish stay at one of Los Angeles’ most attentive cat only boarding facilities. You both deserve a vacation, after all. Your cat will be surrounded by natural sunlight, calming cat music, loving professionals, and every type of toy they could imagine.
