I’ve been a cat owner for the last 15 years. I have also done in house pet sitting for neighbours and cared for cats who had special needs (IE: diabetic). I treat animals like the little beings that they are. I am very respectful of their preferences and space, and love giving cuddles and playtime when they are in the mood. I seem to have a knack for grooming as well. The cats seem to love it when I brush them. For those that are approachable I can clip their claws - I have mine on my lap like a baby as I clip his claws :-) Treats are always forthcoming after a good grooming session! Your furry family member will be well looked after while you are away.
