cat sitting on Sunday 12/29

Sox - I've come each morning between 8-9am.  He is always waiting for me at the door.  I think he misses you and I know he'll be happy to see you! Jasper - I've not seen him at all but he is eating and using his box!

Baby - She follows me around the house while I'm there.  She has been eating well too!

Harley and Skittles - I'm seeing 4 sets of cats right now.  Harley and Skittles are definitely all kitten... they get the award for most likely to play!

Merry Christmas everyone! Butter and Sweet Pea - both enjoyed their Christmas breakfast!  Butter has been eating really well the past couple of days and Sweet Pea has too as long as I add some wet food to her dry. :)

Gabby - I didn't see her today.  I gave her some canned food and scooped her box.  She had plenty of dry food and water.

Baby - She followed me all around today.  I pet on her, feed her, scooped her box and cleaned up her "area."

Lo and Sprinkles - police cars were blocking near your street (I think they were blocking the railroad tracks for some reason.)  There didn't seem to be anything else going on (the cops were just sitting in their cars so I don't think it was too serious.)  I had to wind around to get to your house.  Sprinkles wanted my attention so I pet him and Lo was hungry so she ate!  I gave her the pill too.

Nebula, Sun, etc - they are all doing well.  Both are getting their meds per your note too.

Sox - He greeted me at the door today.  I guess he was ready for breakfast!!

pet sitting on Tues 12/24

Sox - he is doing well.  He is loving meal time that's for sure!! Harley and Skittles - they were playing like crazy this morning.  Both were chasing the ball around and sliding across the wood floors.

Butter and Sweet Pea - Sweet Pea is enjoying our walks.  Last night there was something (some sort of wild critter) making a lot of noise so she had to do some barking. :)  She is eating well too.  I'm mixing a little bit of canned food in with her dry.  Butter is eating well too.

Gray Cat - he was downstairs when I came in but then disappeared after he saw me.  He had plenty of food and water.  I did leave a few treats out for him.

Nebula, Sun, et al - they all seem to be just great.  All are eating well and finishing up at about the same time so there isn't as much bowl swapping as last time. :)

the cat sitter on Monday 12/23

Sox - he greets me as soon as I walk in.  He eats really fast too... I didn't remember that.  By the time I've finished writing my note, he has finished the whole can of food!  I've been giving him a scoop of dry food just as I'm leaving. Harley and Skittles - they are hilarious and I've laughed each time I've played with them.  Yesterday Skittles was playing and ran into Harley.  He jumped straight in the air.  I probably should've have laughed b/c she startled him but it was funny!!!

Gabby - I was scooping out her litter box and she shot out from under the bed and ran into the hall.  So technically, I did see her.  I gave her a tbsp of wet food too.

the pet sitter on Saturday 11/30

Sweet ole man, Max Henry... checking me out but he really just wanted me to put the camera down so we could play!

Max, Pepper and Henry - Henry has decided that he likes me. :)  He isn't hesitant at all when I drive up... he is really excited to see me.  I ran around with he and Pepper last night and this morning.  They will certainly be happy when you're home... I think they're pretty bored.  Max seemed much better this morning.  He got up much faster (and on his own).

Chloe, after Id been rubbing on her.  She is nice and relaxed.

Chloe - she will be happy to see you.  She is always really happy to see me and she is enjoying her walks but I now she missed you.  I did leave her out in the yard for a few hours yesterday afternoon while the sun was out and it warmed up.

Chester and Bailey - Chester always rolls over for a belly rub when I come in.  Bailey just comes bounding into the room ready for playtime, mealtime, walk time... I don't think she cares, anything seems to make her happy!

Simba - He seemed a little gimpier and out of it yesterday.  We just took short walks so he could do his business.  His poo has been fine the whole time and now this morning he seemed a little better.  He certainly hasn't issed a step when it comes to meal time!

Jay and Chloe - We had a really nice visit yesterday afternoon.  It was pretty outside so we played for a long time and just hung out in the yard.  I do think Chloe was jealous though. :)

Sparky - I was glad the weather warmed up for her.  It was a great afternoon to be out yesterday.  More of the same today too!

Minnie and Moe - Moe is a character!  He has been excited to eat, then he wants my attention, then he wants to play or get some catnip!  Minnie has made her appearance to eat too while I've been there.

Jasper - he is eating and using his box but I haven't seen him!

Scarlett and Oliver - Scarlett was at the door again yesterday but I was ready.  She didn't slip out this time!  I fed them both, scooped the box, and refreshed the water.

Baby - she followed me around the whole time I was there, flipping and flopping around on the floor.  She is silly!

pet sitting on Friday 11/29

Moe - after hed been in the catnip! Minnie and Moe - Moe has been greeting me at the door and is very happy to be fed.  Minnie has wandered out to say hi too and eat.  For dinner last night, I got the cat nip boxes out... Moe was happy!!

Chester and Bailey - they are doing well.  I've been crating Bailey overnight but I noticed this morning (actually when she walked in the media room to check on her "work"), that she'd shredded a magazine.  Guess she got a little bored yesterday at some point!  Chester must've been sleeping and not keeping her busy. :)

Sparky - I put her back in the house each morning and I've been going over mid-morning to let her out for the afternoon.  It has been really cold every morning.  She's been zooming out the door first thing to race around the yard and see who visited her turf overnight.

Chloe was coming over to be pet.... Jays unintentional photo bomb in the background!

Jay and Chloe - Crazy Jay doesn't care how cold it is outside, she still wants to chase her ball.  She is so excited to get out first thing in the morning, I always think she really needs to pee but no, she just wants to get to her ball.  Chloe still just wants me to pet her... so I do!

Butter, Sweet Pea and Lucky - Sweet Pea is eating better.  She ate well yesterday afternoon and this morning.  Both dogs are enjoying their walks.  They're doing lots of sniffing while we're out.

Simba - Silly little guy, first thing in the morning I'm always thinking all the dogs want to get outside for their potty break.  Not him, he goes straight for his food bowl.  :)

Max, Henry and Pepper - I didn't have any problems getting the dogs in their crates last night.  Max went right in.  I didn't see either him or Pepper pee though.  Henry did but I couldn't get the other two to go.  Max did poop in his crate overnight.  I got it cleaned out as best I could (it did get on his red cushion).  He couldn't get out of his crate so I fed him before he even got up.  I slid him out and then got a towel underneath his mid section to help him stand.  I moved his crate with cushion and blanket outside so he'd have that to lay in today  I will move it back inside tonight.

Chloe - she is enjoying her walks and sniffing around her yard.  I keep hoping we'll run into Steve but we haven't seen him yet.

Jasper - he is eating and using his box but I haven't seen him. :)

Scarlett and Oliver - I was thinking about your alarm and trying to remember where the key pad was when I opened the door.  Scarlett ran out as I opened the door and I had heart failure.  I grabbed a can of cat food, opened it and ran out on the porch and there she was.  She came right back in.  Yesterday I was VERY thankful for that easy and effective resolution.  I will be on the lookout for her today!!!

Baby - she followed me around yesterday as I fed her and scooped her box.
