Petsmart's PetsHotel boarding services start with a basic kennel fee but can range from $27 to $50 or more per night, with prices varying by location, add-on services, and room type. Base costs cover essential kennel care, but you can pay extra for playtime, treats, walks, bathing, and other personalized services.

The early version of a smartphone. Introduced at the World's Fair in 1964, we saw it for the first time in 2001 a Space Odyssey in 1968 where they had a picturephone phone booth. These were sold all through the seventies but I never saw one they were way too expensive.

This is what we have done. We know a young man who lives with his parents and likes dogs. We let him house sit and take care of our three dogs for $55/day and he can watch all the Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney Plus and basic cable that he wants.
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

Sorry, just saw this. We ended up flying friends in to watch the animals for us. We bought their airfare, gave them $1000 spending money and let them use the house while we were gone. It worked out well. They got a free Florida vacation and we were happy to give them it.

If this was my cat I would pet him and pet him till he eventually moved. You cannot hurry a cat, they have their own agenda.

I think petting him will encourage him to stay. Obviously, that cat is starving. Fortunately, if I rattle a bag of cat treats, he will follow me to the end of the earth.

None at all considering that is my laptop in the foreground with a flight simulator and the cat sitting on the bed behind the computer.
