Talk:Kennel (disambiguation)

I don't know what the focus on dogs is about, but I might take my cat to a kennel if I needed it temporarily housed while I was away; is there a specific word for a "cat hotel" ? --Robert W King 11:37, 16 October 2007 (CDT)

As it is a disambiguation page, if there it is normal usage for cats then you should rewrite it. But check in some reference books first! --Martin Baldwin-Edwards 12:04, 16 October 2007 (CDT)

Well, that's exactly my point Martin ;). I don't know what the normal usage would be. Perhaps "Cat-house"? But cathouse can also mean a place where sex is traded for money. --Robert W King 12:07, 16 October 2007 (CDT)

The word for a cat-hotel is "cattery". See, for example, [1].Jeffrey Scott Bernstein 12:21, 16 October 2007 (CDT)

Is it "the word" or just "a word"? --Robert W King 12:25, 16 October 2007 (CDT)

To the best of my knowledge, it is the only word in the English language which specifically means "an establishment of cats" (OED).Jeffrey Scott Bernstein 12:31, 16 October 2007 (CDT)
