This is one of my cases via email:  

HELP! THE CAT HOTEL WAS A FLEA PIT!

Dear Dr. Basil, I hope this letter finds mew in good health and spirits. My name is Princess, and I'm a fluffy Persian cat. I'm writing to mew today to express my utter displeasure at being put in a two-star cat hotel for a week while my pawrents went on a vacation. As soon as I walked into the hotel, I knew I was in trouble. There were no doormen to welcome me, no 24-hour butler service, and worst of all, no catnip cafe! I mean, really, what kind of establishment doesn't have a catnip cafe? It's like they don't even care about their feline guests. But that's just the beginning of my complaints. The bedding was completely unacceptable. It wasn't soft and fluffy like the pillows on my pawrents bed, and there was a distinct lack of silk sheets. How is a princess supposed to sleep on anything less than the finest linens? And don't even get me started on the lack of five-star amenities. There was no spa, no pool, and no room service. I had to eat the same boring kibble every day, and there weren't even any toys to play with. I mean, what am I supposed to do with my time? I have to say that my experience at the cat hotel was a complete disaster. I would not recommend it to any of my feline friends as I am supurr traumatised by the entire saga, and I'm suffering from acute PTSD and having multiple flashbacks reliving the horror of it all. And now my pawrents are considering going away again and returning me to that heinous travesty of a cat hotel!

I am begging mew, how can I stop this from happening again, as I don't think I'll survive another week in that flea-pit? Sincerely, Princess

This is my Expert Reply
Today I use the colour pink, as this is renowned for being the colour of princesses everywhere, and hopefully will be the purrfect choice for this particular purroblem.

Dear Princess, I hope this letter finds mew in a calmer state. I understand your concerns and I'm sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience at the cat hotel. As a fellow feline, I know how dreadfully impawtant it is to feel comfortable and relaxed while away from home. There are several options mew can consider to avoid going back to the cat hotel. One option is to hire a professional pet sitter who can come to your house and take care of mew while your pawrents are away. This way, mew can stay in the comfort of your own home and have someone to keep mew company and cater to your needs. Another option is to ask your parents to take mew with them on their next vacation if it's a domestic holiday. Many hotels and resorts are now pet-friendly and offer special amenities for cats and other pets. If it's an international affair, then mew may be struggling. If your pawrents are unable to take mew with them and mew prefer not to have a pet sitter, mew can also consider staying with a trusted friend or family member who loves cats and would be happy to take care of mew while your pawrents are away.

Also, with regards to your PTSD, I would suggest that mew come to the clinic in purrson and I will help mew work through the trauma and give mew pointers tailored to your specific requirements to help mew combat the flashbacks and panic attacks. Please contact my team at your earliest convenience. I hope these suggestions are helpful, Princess. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to assist mew.

Yours most sincerely
Dr. Basil
