Pet Sitting

Can it be called pet sitting if I live here too?
My roommate is on a Bahamas cruise so I agreed to take care of the feline herd. Tomba is on his own two week vacation.


They are all quite different, though they all agree on being hungry. And it's a little complicated. Three different foods, different feeding places, Matisse gets meds.

Oliver eats in a large dog crate, otherwise the others would get no peace - or food. 

Little Raji is a meeper, not a meower. It's so cute to hear her! Being the food person for a week is helping our friendship tremendously, though she is still shy. 

However, some kitteh has marked the carpet doorway of my room twice. I strongly suspect Raji, protesting the loss of her room. 

There was also a lizard incident. Sarah knocked it off the glass door, Oliver got it, and when I found them again, seemed very confused when it wasn't moving anymore. Apparently playthings lose much value when they are no longer.... Interactive, shall we say.

    1. Oh yes. Especially at meal times. Sarah likes me best, I think.

  3. Looks like you've got your work cut out for you, to entice Raji into feeling comfortable with you. This week is a great opportunity for that!

    1. Nope, I found the carcass when Oliver was trying to make it move again. I was worried he would eat it.

  6. My human remembers those complicated feeding rituals! It is a lot simpler now that Binga is gone. She gave away the crate to a rescue.

  9. Well, since they aren’t really yours, we think it would be pet sitting. Though sounds like you enjoy taking care of them.

    MOL on the lizard! We've had the same trouble with crickets!

  12. That all sounds pretty nice, except for the carpet marking. We're glad you're having fun taking care of the kittehs, and that you're all getting to know each other better. :)
