[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: how are people here so awful? I was just asking for those who have more experience, this is our first cat and I’ve heard cats do not do well in strange places. For those who have helpful responses, thank you. For those who suggested I’m an idiot or I’m thinking of giving up my cat (?!) - get a life!! [/quote]

I mean, consider where you posted - this is the forum where people routinely talk about giving up or killing their pets, and are encouraged on by this disturbingly pet-hating group of people. You did not make clear in your original post which options you were considering. It's just history that makes us think you could be considering something awful.

You've gotten very helpful advice. Hopefully you can use it! Good luck with your floors. [/quote]

Oh! I’m on DCUM a lot but only once or twice in the pet forum so I didn’t know that. I was expecting advice like some of what I got and was only considering two options: 1) taking her with us and making her somehow comfortable without ruining the furniture or 2) boarding her somewhere that would be comfortable for her. I’m leaning toward trying #1. She’s a pretty chill cat so maybe she’ll be ok. She does scratch some of our furniture and the doors when she wants to get out or in. But clipping her nails before we go is a good idea. I do NOT think confining her to a room will work. She likes being with people (even when guests come over!). And if we try to keep her in or out when she doesn’t went to be, she scratches the doors. All of our doors have claw marks. Maybe I’ll bring some of that spray so she won’t scratch the doors?[/quote]

Yeah, sorry - this is just a nasty forum. I usually avoid it.

If the Airbnb allows pets, they know that some pet damage is inevitable - I would say do your best and build into your budget that you may have to pay a damage fee. Spraying with water is a good idea if the cat is getting into the wrong things - but also your cat is going to be very stressed out already, and you don't want to really traumatize them while you're in the rental. Bring scratching posts, lots of treats and some familiar smelling things. And do your best. [/quote]
