moving the family pets

Staybridge Suites is a modest hotel that has lots of rooms and a high percentage of guests that are "long term" like myself. We're all staying in the hotel for a month or more while waiting for things to happen. For me, I'm waiting for my husband to get his "official" paperwork that will tell us for sure when we are moving and where and what we take with us. Then we leap into action and start doing things to get ready for the move, hopefully. We have sort of started early in getting the cats ready because there is a time frame on taking them overseas. We hope to be within the time frame or close to it so we started early on them, even without the "official" paperwork.

For other families here in the hotel, they already have their paperwork and have shown up in this area to make the move. They are looking for housing, finding transportation, putting kids in schools, getting doctors, etc. etc. As they have mostly come from different states, they don't have the problems in moving animals that you get with moving animals overseas. Staybridge is good about letting people stay with menageries. Most people here with pets have more than one. I have two cats. The people across the hall have two dogs, a bird, and a bunch of guinea pigs. I think that's the only bird in residence at the moment. Other people have multiple dogs, multiple cats, hamsters, mice, fish, but luckily no one is staying with a snake at the moment. I really wouldn't even want to know that.

So with the other animals in the hotel, my cats are very intent on listening at the door constantly. Something interesting might walk by or something interesting might make a sound across the hall. The other animals in the hotel don't bother me. They are all quieter than the other guests!
