It looks like October will be another very busy month for cat-sitting. I am booked every day and will be caring for many cats that I can't wait to see again. There will be a few 'oldies' that may be a bit of a challenge but hopefully they will do fine with their owners travelling and their care-giver visiting twice a day. Staying positive is key. Who knows more about the 'oldie but goodie' crowd when it comes to felines than yours truly?
