The Rules at Cat's House

Most Sindulgences events take place at Cat's House. The rules at Cat's House are as follows:
  1. You must be at least 18 years old (and out of high school) to attend any event at Cat's House. Photo ID may be required at the door. Parties are for members and their guests only.
  2. Members are those who pay an annual membership fee of $100. Members may escort up to two guests to each event. Members will vouch for the character and interest in BDSM of their guests. Guests, whether escorted by a member or the guests of Cat's House, have a requested donation of $20 for singles or $30 for couples per party.
  3. Parties and events may have a maximum number of participants allowed. Once that number is reached, guests wishing to attend will be placed on a waiting list. Any member who RSVPs at least 24 hours before an event will be guaranteed entrance to that event.
  4. Until we get to know you or if you have problems with chronic no-shows, guests must pre-pay for the events at Cat's House. If problems arise and guests do not cancel prior to the start of the party, the privilege of paying at the door will be rescinded.
  5. Respect our vanilla neighbors. Do not wear your leathers, fetish-wear or flashy clothing to the door. Either wear a coat or change your clothes once you're inside the play space. This applies to leaving the party also. We do not wish to call undue attention to ourselves.
  6. If you have any questions or concerns during the party, speak to the designated Dungeon Monitor (DM) or to the Hostess. The Hostess has final say on all matters. If there is a problem or any guest becomes ill or incapacitated, notify the Hostess immediately.
  7. The party safeword is "RED," If you call out "RED," a DM will come to your aid. Everyone at this party should use this word as a call for assistance from outside your scene. Do not misuse or abuse this call for help. If you are using a gag in your scene, another form of calling their safeword must be provided for the submissive/bottom and a DM must be notified of this scene beforehand.
  8. Use your common sense and simple courtesy. Do not touch another person or their property without permission from them. Never attempt to join scenes in progress without prior permission. Respect the space and deposit trash in appropriate containers.
  9. Alcohol is allowed at Cat's House but it's bring-your-own and drunkenness will not be tolerated. Do not engage in any illegal activities at parties. Notify a DM if you use prescriptions that may influence your judgment. If you have a medical condition, please inform a DM.
  10. Respect those playing. No loud, social or distracting conversations are allowed in the play areas.
  11. Respect those waiting to play. Scenes lasting over an hour are discouraged. If you need more time for the scene you are planning, please talk to a DM or the Hostess first. Check with the DM or Host before beginning any loud, disruptive, or unusually messy scenes or play involving fire, blood, wax, suspension, or watersports. Breath control play, scat play and Roman showers are not allowed during parties. All needles must be removed before the bottom steps away from the designated play area. Use the sharps container to dispose of used needles properly.
  12. No cameras, cell phones or any type of recording device is allowed in the play areas without explicit permission from the Hostess. If you bring a cell phone, leave it in the social area when you are in the play areas.
  13. Play partners are not to be left alone during a scene. If you must step away from your partner during a scene, designate someone to watch and protect your partner in your absence. Do not ask the DM to do this.
  14. Barrier protection (condoms, gloves and dental dams) is required -- and you must bring your own. For the protection of all our guests, even committed couples are required to use barrier protection. Cleaning supplies are also available. Clean up after your scene. Be sure not to contaminate other areas of the party with body fluids or other residue from your play.
  15. Smoking is allowed in the backyard. No play is allowed outside the house. While outside, please keep your voices down so the neighbors aren't disturbed.
  16. This party and all events hosted at Cat's House are private and confidential. By attending, you are agreeing to refrain from divulging the identities and activities of any of the partygoers to any non-attendees.

The Hostess reserves the right to refuse entrance to anyone or ask anyone to leave if they appear intoxicated, potentially harmful to themselves or others, ignore these rules, or engage in unsafe or nonconsensual behavior of any kind.

House rules:

  1. When RSVPing for a party or event, clearly state your scene name, the name of your guest (if any) and the event you wish to attend. Read the confirmation letter. Though it's a standard letter, I often put new information in the first or second paragraph.
  2. Stay out of the kitchen while the kitchen staff is still working there. We mean this. We have knives and we can be surly.
  3. Never leave your beverage containers and used plates on the buffet table. It’s unslightly, wasteful and unhygenic. In the bathrooms, place the used towels and scrubbies in the clothes hamper.
  4. Cats live at Cat's House. Though they spend most of their time in Cat's room or outside, if you're allergic to them, please remember to bring your medication.
  5. Hardwood floors can get cold at night. Wearing socks might not look sexy (or maybe it does) but they will certainly keep your feet warmer.
  6. You may bring alcohol to our events but drunkenness will not be tolerated. We do not guarantee there will be mixers or ice here so bring your own if you need them.
  7. If you plan to go naked during the party, bring a towel to sit on.
  8. If you need items for or after your scene, bring them with you. Part of preparing for any dungeon party is packing your toy bag, not only with toys but with items added for your safety and comfort (robes, towels, socks, lubricants, and safer sex products, for example).
