I also think boarding dogs and boarding cats are two very separate issues. Cause when we were looking for places, there were lots of fancy dog boarding places where it really was the equivalent of staying at a nice hotel. Plus dogs tend to like different people a lot better than cats. Not all dogs and I don't mean to generalize. But from what I found the cat boarding places were not nearly as nice or roomy, and cats do not usually like strangers or new places so they are very scared when boarded.
