My love for the entire feline family goes back to my earliest childhood. I was fascinated by cats: their origins, history, biology, instincts and behaviour. When I was just five years old, after some rather determined negotiations on my part, the first kitten joined our family and I was the one responsible for looking after her.

I read books and articles about cat care, attend lectures and seminars. Over the years, my understanding grew. The development of animal psychology has given us even more insight into how cats think, communicate and experience the world. I find it wonderful that we can understand their needs better and make their lives happier and more comfortable.

Why cat sitting?

At the moment, for personal reasons, I cannot have a pet of my own. Cat sitting is a wonderful opportunity for me to spend time with the animals I have loved all my life, while giving their owners peace of mind that their beloved companions are in caring and attentive hands.

I firmly believe that the cat is the true head of the household. Unlike dogs, cats are not particularly interested in fitting into a human hierarchy. We are simply large, clumsy, hairless cats who have somehow been granted the privilege of living in the shadow of Their Majesty.

So please feel free to inform the head of your household that I am perfectly happy to respect all their rules and preferences. I would be honoured to receive permission to provide meals, keep the litter box clean and, if Their Majesty so wishes, offer a few gentle and carefully negotiated strokes.

After all, earning a cat's trust is a privilege, never an entitlement. 🐾

I have cared for my own cats, neighbours' cats and stray cats in the countryside, both healthy and sick. I have experience in administering medication, including drops and tablets, giving subcutaneous fluids, working with an already placed IV catheter, and assisted feeding.
