Little Cat Feet

Shaggy and his littermate brother Scooby came to live with us in October 2005, when they were 5 years old. Scout arrived in 2006 at the age of 6 weeks. Scooby passed over very suddenly to the Rainbow Bridge on April 1, 2012 and is remembered fondly and missed deeply.

Catsitting


Mom's been catsitting the next door cats, Mars & Tippy since Wednesday.
That's Mars in the picture. A gorgeous ginger boy! He comes over to visit if he manages to get outside (but only when it's warm!) Tippy is part Maine Coon, has luxurious long black fur and tail and little white edging on his the tips of his toes.

Mom went over twice a day to feed them. 1/2 can divided twice a day of their grain free food. We tried that food but won't eat it. They love it and gobble it down. Mom says that's why they are the softest kitties she has ever petted in her life.
They don't have toys because they live with two big woofies who like to eat cat toys, so mom brings toys when she visits them. Tippy especially loves to chase fevver-butt mousies and little kitty balls. The one she brought over today had some of our nip on it. She didn't know it until they started going crazy!!!! She also takes a book over and sits with them too, so they have company, not just a hello-goodbye feeding.
Their people and dogs will be home later today, so we don't have to share her anymore.

You three are very generous to share your Mom. Do you inspect her when she comes home? We would, and make funny faces, too!

You guys have such a wonderful mom to catsit the neighbor kitties and spend time with them so they don't get lonely.

We can understand why your human mom doesn't mind catsitting these 2. We'd also enjoy visiting with a handsome ginger tom like Mars and a playful fellow like Tippy.

Your mum sounds like the best ct sitter. It is a shame that Mars and Tippy don't get toys.

That was nice of your human, but it is even nicer that she is done and you can stop sharing her!

I wish our humans would go and visit and take the doggies with them. That'd be a vacation for us.
