The text below popped up on my personal page today! This means Katz at Home is now 20 years old!! 🐈🎉🐈⬛ Who would have thought it back then; the time flies so fast when you're having fun.
THANK YOU to all our wonderful customers, some of whom have been with us for the whole 20 years; without you we wouldn't be celebrating this milestone. 🙏🐾❤️🐾🐈⬛🐾🐈🐾😻
And THANK YOU to Eve, who has supported me for many years now. ❤️ And also Gemma & Angie, whose extra help means Eve and I can have time off at last. One or more of us is working every single day of the year. 😻❤️
FROM 2016:
Super proud that my little business is now 10 years old. What started out as a hobby and a bit of fun has become a very well known service in my area, with literally 100s of customers, and more appearing all the time.
What I never anticipated was how much of the circle of life I’d see. I’ve seen customers meet someone, move in, get married/pregnant, divorce/move away, find themselves a new love, move back again, new home, new job, new cat! I’ve seen the kids I first met become young adults, and I’ve had customers die, both feline and human. I’ve discovered cats with serious injuries or illness and got them to the vets in time; I’ve also walked in on ones too late to save and had to break the news. I’ve dealt with burglaries, leaks, power cuts, storm damage, half the garden floating in the swimming pool! I have customers who live in the tiniest flat through to the dream houses the rest of us only gaze at. Difficult customers who are unrealistic and often haven’t a clue about cat care, to the few that have become friends over the years. I never anticipated the huge level of responsibility nor the protectiveness I feel for customers’ property and animals.
But I’m being paid to spend time with cats! The love of my life. It doesn’t get better than that. All I can now say is, it’s been emotional, and here’s to the next 10 years! :-)
