In further clarification of a critical review of Meowtel that was posted yesterday, we have been informed that Meowtel sitter "Kat" in Columbus, Ohio filed a criminal complaint of animal neglect and cruelty against us because Himalayan cat Amadeus's eyes were watering. This is common in this breed, he has eye drops for this and he is under the care of a family friend and veterinarian. After seeing the cat for the first time, she opined that he was an exotic breed that should not be kept in a house, and that he had received no veterinary care. In fact, law enforcement authorities were told that we were keeping exotic animals and that they were sick.
These allegations were made without contacting us by text or telephone although she had numbers for both of these, and after returning from an overnight trip we were visited by two uniformed police officers with guns. They investigated this complaint and dismissed it immediately, but be warned that if you contract with Meowtel and if in this city you let this woman into your house, you may also face on your return armed police officers accusing you of animal cruelty and neglect without any substantiation.
