Well it's almost over and while Boomer and I have become best buddies, it is only now that I see Puss Puss getting closer and closer just in time for me to leave. She's so adorable and quiet. I managed to touch her briefly with a look of "how dare you" from her. Hehehehe..... I'm so not use to NOT mushing them. I mush my kitties daily as they melt in my arms. But that's ok. I can go home after sitting and mush my babies till their eyes pop out.

Last week for those of you who did not know, I had the stomach flu. I had no choice but to take the entire week off which was great for Boomer. I devoted A LOT of my time to him and his happiness. LOL We really had a nice time together.

Here are a few pics from todays sitting.

Those cats are so pretty! They look very relaxed with you there now too. I think you've done a great job at taking care of these two.

With all the work you have done to get to know these cats you may want to ask the owners if you can stop by and visit with them once a week....especially if you think you will be pet sitting them again.
I remember you saying they are owned by an elderly couple. The couple may enjoy your visits too. Many seniors get over looked and are lonely.

You are right about visiting. I'd love to come visit with them. They are both very nice people to hang with too. We'll see what we can come up with. Last year when they went away on a cruise....he was such a fun kitty to play with and still is. He was just more upset this time around tho but I was able to work with him again like I did last year. I had called him "Mr Wonderful" and they thought I was nuts. They were surprised. I guess they figured he'd give me a hard time but because I worked with him and spent time on his level (the floor) I connected better with him. Wait till they hear what I've been through.


I hope I can clear things up as far as to the biting issue. They don't trust him anymore and that is a shame. But there are ways around it if you make the time to pay attention to the signs and work to correct them.

He's such a good boy but he just has, I believe, lots of energy and needs to use that energy towards toys and not peoples limbs.

I am soooo happy to be hearing this! I remember your very first post, that cat didn't want anything to do with you! Alot of people would have went there, fed the cats, did their thing and left. But you actually spent time getting him comfortable with you being there! That's sooo cool! I hope these people realize how great you really are! And I hope to keep seeing your posts on here
Even after your done catsitting!!

When you look into those eyes, how could anyone just leave him? I'm so glad I made it through. When I first started this and he was so upset I thought this was gonna be a long two weeks. Now, I'm dreading my last day, tomorrow. I'm gonna miss my little boyfriend.
