🐈‍⬛ Black Cat Appreciation Day 🐈‍⬛

I’ve always admired how elegant and loving black cats are - and fondly remember our beloved miniature jaguar, Max, who was an absolutely awesome cat! That said, I’m well aware that black cats are often overlooked for rehoming and stay at rescue centres for longer, so want to spread a little bit of appreciation for black cats! So if you have a black cat, post below what you love most about them 🐈‍⬛

My little mini me loves cats as much as I do 😻

🐾 INDOOR OR OUTDOORS? 🐾

I try to mimic the usual routine for your cat on my visits, so feel free to discuss any preferences and requirements that you have so we can agree this all before your break.

This cutie enjoys a mix of both indoors and outdoors, and would always come back in with the shake of the treat box or if prawns were on offer!

Enjoyed meeting and looking after a new kitty client at the end of July - this beautiful girl was very curious about what I was up to!

Happy International Cat Day!

A day devoted to our whiskered furballs, though my 3 all think that every day evolves around them, of course!

Share a photo of your cat below, and be in the chance to win a cat sitting voucher from yours truly 🐾

🐾 Medication 🐾

Where your cat needs their ongoing medication whilst your away, please just let me know and leave clear instructions as to when and how much etc, and I will do my very best to ensure they get their usual dosage when required.

This fella was very good at taking his tablets!

More visits to see this gorgeous pair… who enjoy a good groom as well as a good fuss when I’m there 🐾

This beautiful girl was such a delight to look after last week 😻

🐾 A message for any cat lovers on my Facebook feed…🐾

My sister in law’s neighbour is looking to rehome one of her cats… Charlie is meant to be an indoor cat but has made it very clear that he is an explorer and wants to be an outdoors cat but they live too near a busy road to feel comfortable letting him out so reluctantly are looking for someone to give him a good home with a safe garden etc. He’s 5 years old, bengal cross, currently lives with another cat and children over 9. Said I would spread the word to see if anyone knows anyone who would be able to give him a new home - drop me a message if so🤞🏻

This one has been a bit poorly and did not enjoy his trip to the vets last week (he also gave us a near heart attack when somehow he managed to escape his carrier immediately outside of the vets moments before his appointment 🫣 and had to be coaxed back home with some ham before a second trip to the vets later that day!), but hopefully my biggest furball is now feeling better after plenty of rest🤞🏻

Spotted on a client’s fridge this weekend… sounds like my purrfect Sunday evening!

🐾 How often should you play with your cat? 🐾

It’s good for their physical health and mental wellbeing for cats to have some play time, regardless of their age! Each game doesn’t need to be long, maybe just 1 or 2 minutes, but my top tip is to swap toys around regularly to keep them interesting! And I always take along a toy for play time to all of my cat sitting visits as it’s likely to be something new and exciting to play with for my kitty clients!

I just love the little notes my kids leave for me some mornings 😹😹

How handsome is this guy!? Can you name his breed?

The clues are that he has a distinctively solid grey-blue thick coat, stocky body, broad face, and gorgeous pineapple eyes… and was the boss of the house, of course! 😻😻

Today is Pet Remembrance Day - a day to celebrate and remember the wonderful pets we've loved and lost who have had a lasting impact on our lives.

Here is a photo of my beloved Maddy who lived to the grand age of 18 years and who I still think about every single day years after she went over the rainbow bridge. Feel free to share your loved ones too in the comments 🐾

Heaven gained this little angel last month. She was the tiniest and sweetest girl, who had been living her best life in retirement at my Nan’s house and is missed ever so much 💔💔
