Consett Cat Sitter (2025)

26/08/2025

✨🐾 Two-for-Tuesday Cats 🐾✨

Today’s double act are Bruce & Barry – partners in crime, fridge enthusiasts, and self-appointed snack inspectors.
• Bruce is the big black boy of the pair, a gentle giant who reckons every day should come with a side of chicken.
• Barry, the tabby mastermind, is the one who knows exactly where the fridge lives… and gives me the look that says “You know what’s in there, now hurry up.”

Between them, they’ve perfected the art of standing by the fridge like it’s the stage door at a Take That concert – waiting patiently (but not silently) for their chicken-shaped encore.

Double trouble, double cuddles… and definitely double chicken.

🐾 Welcome to Consett Cat Sitter! 🐾

If you’ve just stumbled across this page after one of my daft posts — hiya! 👋 I promise it’s not all chaos and cat memes (though there’s plenty of that too).

Here’s what I actually do when I’m not taking the mick online:

✨ Pet sitting & pop-ins – Cats are my main crew, but I also look after rabbits, hamsters, tortoises, reptiles, and even the odd goldfish. Basically, if it’s got whiskers, paws, a shell, or a tail, I can help.

✨ House sitting duties – Feeding, litter trays, cuddles, walks, water plants, bins out, mail in, keep the place ticking over so it looks lived-in while you’re away.

✨ Health & safety covered – I’m DBS checked, fully insured, trained in pet first aid, and experienced in giving medication (including diabetic and thyroid meds). Your pets are in safe, capable, and very calm hands.

✨ Areas I cover – Consett, Shotley Bridge, Blackhill, Leadgate, Burnopfield, Chopwell and surrounding spots.

So whether you need:
– A friendly face for your cats 🐱
– A watchful eye on your house 🏡
– Or someone who knows the difference between hamster cuddles and tortoise sunbathing 🐹🐢

…I’m your girl.

✅ Local, trusted, reliable.
✅ Last-minute bookings welcome.
✅ Plenty of updates so you don’t miss your furry (or scaly) friends while you’re away.

Drop me a message if you’d like a chat or to book a free meet & greet. And if you’ve got this far — give the page a follow, it keeps me and the cats smiling! 💚

🔥🐾 Consett Cat Sitter – Bank Holiday BBQ Edition 🐾🔥

Bank Holiday Monday in Consett means one thing: the mass panic-buy BBQ dash.

– Every man and his dog (literally) is in Asda fighting over the last disposable BBQ like it’s the Hunger Games.
– Someone’s mam is in Herons buying 48 frozen burgers for £2.50 and a multipack of Panda Pops for the kids (only three flavours work — the rest taste like melted jelly babies).
– Barry’s Bargains is doing a roaring trade in “BBQ sauce multipacks” and suspiciously cheap kebab skewers that bend if you look at them funny. Don’t even start on his deals on 2-litre bottles of pop — you need a trolley just for the Cherryade.
– Meanwhile, every bloke in Consett is out the back garden swearing at charcoal, insisting “it’ll catch in a minute” while their lass is still inside cooking chips in the air fryer because “nobody’s eating raw chicken again, Darren.”
– There’s always one neighbour who thinks a herring on a stick counts as a gourmet BBQ special (straight from the Herons freezer aisle, still half icy in the middle).

And through all this, the cats of Consett are sat on the fence, tails flicking, watching your sausage roll into next door’s garden. They know where the real feast is — and spoiler alert: it’s not your burnt burger. 🐈🍔

So if you’re too busy wrestling with smoke, cheap pop, and Barry’s finest BBQ kit, and you need someone to keep your moggy fed and watered while you ruin another Bank Holiday Monday… aye, that’s where I come in. 😉

Bank Holiday Brutal Truths – Consett Edition

“Truth about Consett Bank Holidays:
– Every man and his dog’s down Wetherspoons, posting selfies with two pitchers for a tenner like they’ve cracked Dubai nightlife.
– Someone’s nan is knocking back trebs in the club, telling the DJ to ‘stick a bit of Cascada on’ while grinding on a lad young enough to be her grandson.
– The weather? Forget heatstroke — it’s brass monkey cold, but you’ll still see topless blokes staggering down Front Street with a can of Dark Fruits.
– B&Q car park’s like a warzone. Someone’s screaming at their bairn while another bloke’s hanging out the boot of a Fiesta with a fence panel balanced on his head.
– BBQs? Half-raw chicken, burnt on the outside, salmonella on the in. Someone’ll be in A&E by 9pm swearing it was ‘just pink in the middle.’
– And by Tuesday morning, half the town will be bankrupt from ‘just popping out for a few bits’ that turned into 6 crates, 40 Richmonds, and a paddling pool that’ll split on first inflation.

Meanwhile, your cat? Living their best life. No traffic, no queues, no dodgy chicken. Just naps, snacks, and me on hand like their personal butler. Honestly, they’ve got it sorted.

Hey there, fabulous pet-parent friends! 🐾✨

Let me introduce you to Toby, the very handsome Chartreux boy I’m looking after this week. I nearly had a Consett -level shock when I first saw him—my memory of him was a slim, wiggly kitten, and now… voilà! He’s grown into a full‑blown, buff, amber‑eyed gentleman who might just be the most dashing cat on the block.

⸻

A Bit of Family History—and Feels

I used to care for Toby’s two older brothers, Coco and Clover, both members of our cherished Good Boy Club. Sadly, those old lads have now gone over the rainbow bridge. Coco was quietly brave and deaf, and going about his life without a peep. Clover, on the other hand… oh, Clover had a talent—he could say my name and answer questions! Yes, you read that right. He was basically the feline equivalent of a chatbot, minus the Wi‑Fi. 🐱🎙

Before he passed, Toby claims- or perhaps declared—that Clover had initiated him into the Good Boy Club. Whether that’s officially accurate or a feline power move… well, that’s up for debate. But this week, Toby’s behavior says he’s definitely earned his Good Boy stripes—and then some.

⸻

Toby the Chartreux: A True Gentleman
• Looks like a plush potato—stockily built, sturdy, with a kind of built-in smile you can’t help but love. Chartreux are known for that mellow “happy” expression.
• Quiet and observant—not the type to be on vocal demand. When Toby does talk, it’s usually a little chirp or a gentle reminder that cuddle time is due.
• Affectionate but independent—he adores long cuddle sessions, yet is perfectly happy to lounge solo, being his handsome self.
• Naturally muscular and low-maintenance—that robust build doesn’t need high grooming upkeep, though his woolly coat does appreciate a good comb now and then.

Toby’s Week in the Good Boy Club

This week, Toby has proven himself a full-fledged, rule-abiding Good Boy:
1. He’s polite and cuddly—always ready to nestle in for a lap nap or enjoy a gentle chin scratch.
2. He’s charmingly well-behaved—no fuss, no drama; just steady, sweet presence.
3. He’s living on with honour—the spirit of Coco and Clover is definitely carried forward. Their legacy lives on in every soft purr and amber gaze .

So here’s to you, Toby—our grey knight of the household, noble, serene, and utterly irresistible. Thank you for carrying on the legacy of good manners, clever antics, and quiet charm. And to Coco and Clover, our founding Good Boys, we’ll forever miss you, but we see your spirit shining in Toby every day.

🐾 Happy International Cat Day… to the furry little weirdos we love anyway 🐾

Today we celebrate the majestic, mystical… absolute menaces that share our homes.

Here’s to the ones who:
🐱 Lick their own bum, then your face… without a flicker of shame.
🐱 Knock over a glass of water, watch it smash, then look you dead in the eye like you did it.
🐱 Bring you “presents” — dead mice, half a pigeon, or (my personal favourite) a live moth at 2am.
🐱 Pretend you don’t exist until you open a tin of tuna.
🐱 Decide the perfect time for a deep clean is immediately after using the litter tray… and it’s not a quick job.
🐱 Sleep like an angel for 22 hours, then spend the other 2 hours doing wall parkour and shouting at absolutely nothing.

So aye, here’s to our cats — the toe-biters, the cupboard-raiders, the sofa-shredders, the purr machines.
We don’t just own them. We’re their staff. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.

📸 Drop your most ridiculous cat photo in the comments — bonus points if it captures their weirdness in full glory. Let’s see the real International Cat Day.

🐾 Today’s Cat Sit: Tinker & Socks 🐾Meet Tinker & Socks — two absolutely lush house cats I’ve had the pleasure of visiting this week 💚✨ Tinker is cheeky, clever, and very food motivated. His mum lovingly calls him Fat Lad, but he prefers “Treat Connoisseur, Ta Very Much.” He gives paw on command, loves a good snuggle, and always comes strutting out like he’s the star of the show (because, well, he is).✨ Socks is his quieter, shyer sister — a little more reserved at first, but now she knows me, we’re sound. She’s got the softest nature and the most beautiful little face, and watching her confidence grow is one of my favourite parts of cat sitting.These two are properly doted on by their humans — who, once upon a time, were dog people! Now they’re proud cat converts thanks to these two loveable fluffballs 🐱💕They’re mainly house cats but love safe garden sniffs and even go on caravan adventures with their mam — honestly, they’ve got a better social life than me.🎥 (Video below of Tinker showing off his paw trick and a bit of our visit together 🐾💖)

“You’ll probably never see her,” they say.
“She hides. You won’t get near her.”

It’s something I hear all the time—and honestly? I don’t mind one bit.

Cats like that aren’t a challenge to me. They’re just a longer conversation.

One of my favourites was a beautiful boy named Emile. I visited on and off for three months—didn’t see a whisker of him at first. He lived under the duvet like a shadow. Never hissed. Never scratched. Just… watched, quietly.

I never pushed it. I just turned up, kept the routine, talked softly, brought the snacks, and let him come to me in his own time.

Then one day, like magic, he appeared.
Next visit? Straight out.
The visit after that? Headbutts.
Now? He trots over like we were never strangers.

The truth is, once I earn a cat’s trust, I never have to do it twice.
Even if a year goes by—they always remember.

That’s the real joy in this job. It’s not about instant results. It’s about building quiet trust that lasts.

So if you’ve got a shy or nervous cat who “won’t come out,”
I’ve probably already got a Dreamie with their name on it. 💚
