I work at a boarding kennel - and the kitties get tummy rubs and affection, you bet!

Ted, one of the owners, will take a scared new kitty into our plant-filled sunroom(all non-toxic to kitties), and spend a little quality time with them to help them relax.

Rule of thumb - ALWAYS take a tour of any kennel or cattery you are thinking of using!
