Tell your pet sitter everything!
Hi all, as you know, I am a professional pet sitter in business for many years.
Years ago, I began a pet job with a new client. They had two small dogs and an African Grey Parrot.
He was in a bird cage in the kitchen. He was actually the first bird I took care of.
The pet job was an overnight stay, so I got back to the house in the evening and was relaxing on the couch with the dogs watching TV.
I heard the house phone ring. I went into the kitchen where the phone was, it wasn’t ringing. I settled back on the couch with the dogs.
I then heard a man’s voice talking. Needless to say I was freaked out and went to investigate.
I went into the kitchen, the bird was in his cage, quiet.
After looking upstairs, under beds and behind shower curtains, I went back to the couch again.
It was only when I heard the microwave “beep” while I was on the couch I realized it was... the parrot!
After a few nerve racking minutes, the laughter set in. That parrot was a master impressionist!
Pet Sitters thrive on information about your pets, your home and lots of small details you may think are not important.
Please, please, please- tell your pet sitter everything.
Even if you think it isn’t that important.
Trust me, it is.

One thing that I have come across just by being in the pet industry and networking with a lot of people is there are some people who think cats are disposable.
Cats don’t get the same respect that dogs get. This is clear.
Cats are very much misunderstood in general.
Cats are not a consolation prize~”get a cat” if you can’t have a dog.
Cats are wonderful, amazing beings. And they were once worshiped. Cats deserve the same respect as dogs. True animal lovers can appreciate all the differences that a cat has to offer. If you cannot love a cat and commit for their lifetime, then please don’t get a cat.

It’s 4 AM. Feed me!
Cats have always fascinated me. They are phenomenal creatures.
I grew up with dogs first and then cats and I have to say my love for them is equal in its own way because they are such different creatures.
I can appreciate how strong and independent cats are, in fact I think that may be what I love most about them.
If they love you, it is an honor! ❤️

Cats are by nature, nocturnal. Meaning that they are usually awake at night especially cats in the wild and nighttime hours are when when they would be doing their best hunting.
So the collective we, who have taken in these little adorable kittens who grew up to be amazing cats and lo and behold they’re stepping on our face at 4 AM to be fed, because their natural instincts are calling them.
If they were out roaming around in the wild they would be hunting and eating at those times and then they would sleep all day.
Mind you- none of my cats have ever awakened me at 4 AM, but I hear it from some of my clients!
Whatever you do…Don’t get up and feed them at 4 AM. You will be setting a very bad precedent.
You can start the next night by giving them an extra meal before bed so that their bellies are satisfied and hopefully they won’t be on your pillow before your alarm goes off.
I also recommend giving them lots of extra playtime, mentally stimulating treat puzzles, and just a lot of attention and play during the day in general. This will help to tire them out so hopefully you won’t be awakened by kitty paws on you.
Remember to appreciate all the beauty and wildness that cats bring into our lives and find creative solutions for accommodating their truly wild nature.

Is your cat’s food… cat food??
As some of you may already know this, I think it is an important topic to discuss.
Many cat food manufacturers have a product in their lines which is meant as they say on the label for “supplemental feeding”. What does that mean?
That means that these small packages of appealing usually whole food in broth are missing the essential vitamins and mineral that cats need to survive.
These products are meant to be fed as a snack or a treat but not for a meal.
They are meant to supplement usual meals of canned/ dry cat food which has vitamins and minerals essential for your cat’s system.
I don’t object to the these items being on the market, but I do think that manufacturers need to do a better job of labeling and explaining why these are not to be fed as a stand alone diet for your cat.
If done, your cat can wind up with serious health issues.
There are specific vitamins which are found in animal products and which the cat food industry adds to your cat’s food which are necessary for normal system functions and cannot be missed. Taurine is one!
So please~ check to make sure you are feeding a wet cat food which is complete in nutrition for your cat. Just look at the label and there should be added vitamins listed.
If there isn’t and the front of the label it says “ for supplemental feeding”, “not a complete meal” then you know you bought a product which is meant to be fed in addition to your cat’s usual canned food, and not instead of.
