When we first arrived in Germany, the hotel we stayed at, had a strict no pets policy. Seeing as how we came on New Years Eve we did not have a place our cats could stay. Leaving them in their kennel outside the hotel was an option but I am sure they would have frozen due to the fact that they are mostly indoor cats. Therefore we went with option number two and smuggle the cats in and out of the room. The hotel also had rules regarding the cleaning schedule, so we could only refuse their services every other day. I am sure this rule originated because of people like us This picture shows how we ended up transporting our cats in and out of the hotel, and yes both cats are in the bag. Luckily we found a shelter a few days later and were able to kennel the cats until we moved into our house a month later.
