My First Cat Sitting Job

Sasha, my snoopervisor liked drinking from the sink

Today I got to visit two nice cats of a friend of mine.  Sasha greeted me as soon as I came in and followed me everywhere I went, except outside. 

Pumpkin stayed in hiding for about the first 1/2 hour I was there, but then came out for breakfast and paced by the back door, meowing to be let outside.  The cats usually do get to go out but not while their owners are gone.  Sorry, cats.

They are both handsome and friendly.  I spent some time petting them both.  There is an outside feral cat named Peaches too, but that one wasn't around when I was there.  I left some food and water for it outside though.

There are also two birds who were chirping while I was there named Romeo and Juliet.  I cleaned their cage and gave them fresh water and some food too.  I am surprised the two big cats don't bother the birds, but they don't seem to pay any attention to them.

Watering the plants was where I ran into a slight problem.  It took me about 15 minutes go do the outside ones but when I poured half the watering can into the big plant in the front window, it was dripping onto the floor and made a big puddle.  I wiped some up with paper towels but didn't want to use them all up for that so looked for the linen closet to get a towel but couldn't find it.  I figure it was on a linoleum floor anyway and would dry eventually.  Fortunately that one only gets watered once a week.

I look forward to getting to know all these nice pets better.  I think I'll take my book along, "One Moment" and read to them some.  I'm sure they miss their mom and dad.
