I have had pet cats throughout my life: kittens, adult and elderly and infirm, always having a special affinity with them. I've been cat/home sitter, or have visited twice a day, to feed and clean the litter trays and spend time there, sometimes medicating and/or injecting. (References are available) .I have volunteered at catteries to socialize, feed and clean pens for thirty years, and have fostered many cats in my own home. It is essential to make everything clean, dry, warm and comfortable, with food and fresh water and litter tray, but just as important is show gentleness and calm, to put the cats at ease. I have four cats now, one elderly and three middle aged, but in the past have cared for the so called unhomable ones with severe problems, including those blind and disabled. Those dear souls, nervous or with not long to live, give such love in return. My cats were my sole companions in lock down, and I would not have done well without them.
