Most of my guests see my cats as a major bonus. I mostly host long term guests and many of them are missing their pets back home, but even short term guests seem to appreciate the cuddles and the purrs.
Pinot is the most confident of my three cats. She definitely rules the roost. One thing she loves to do is jump onto any bed I am trying to make. It doesn't matter if I tell her I have a new guest about to arrive, need to make the bed and her antics and floof are not helping matters. She loves to burrow under duvets and blankets.
Yesterday, I had a new guest arriving and Pinot burrowed under the bed. She refused to get out. Luckily, said guest had already told me that she was 'obsessed with cats' so I left the little monster in there. The guest, it turns out, was delighted by Pinot's behaviour. "Your cat is the the cutest, cuddliest kitty ever," she told me some hours later.
So, I guess I have to give Pinot some kudos for being a good co-host...
