My family has always had cats so I have grown up looking after many different cats/kittens. My mum's cats are quite old and both are quite ill. I am used to administering oral medication and ensuring the cat feels safe and secure while doing so. As one of her cats suffers badly from anxiety he tends to over-groom and this is a personality I am used to dealing with. I find that human contact is the best way to calm this kind of behaviour. I can administer de-fleeing and de-worming medications orally or directly onto the skin. I have spent several months living in my brother and sister-in-law's house looking after their cats while they have been abroad over the past few years. As such, I am comfortable in another home with new cats and confident in my ability to ensure the safety of the cats or kittens I am looking after. I find the experience of looking after cats rewarding because I have seen first hand the effect an owner's departure can have on a cat. Many cats gets attached to one member of the family and can find it distressing to be without any human contact while that person is absent. I hope that I can be there to comfort any cats/kittens who may feel anxious while their owner is out of the house.
