I’ve been cat sitting for our neighbors this week.
.
.
They live one door over and down behind us near the river. They’re also the neighbors who had their driveway redone the same time we did. It’s an absolute joy to ride down there now.
.
.
Pia greets me at the door upon arrival. She never used to, but has come realize I am the bringer of food when mom is away… so I am tolerated now.
.
.
And even allowed to pet her on occasion.
.
.
As long as the food bowls remain full that is.

River's world..... 
Awww, she’s a cutie! Man the top of that scratch post is almost gone, lol.

I thought you were sitting the cat at your house with the Lord… Probably a good idea just to go and visit her at her house. 😄

His Lordship would not tolerate feline houseguests. No.

Yiu are almost sitting the double of my baby cat SiSi, who is now in her third year and still as kittenish as ever. SiSi is much fluffier, but otherwise they are twins, right down to the bit of tongue peeking between her lips in the first portrait.
But I feel so sorry for Pia, she has no friends to play with. Alone in that great big house. POOR PUSSYCAT!

No, there’s another kitty named Cassie… but I never see her.

Ah. That’s good to know. All cats should have friends. Except maybe Lord Dudley Mountcatten, who is too full of himself to share his space.

Lord Dudley has servants, that seems to be enough.

All cats have servants. And we servants love to serve.

I have cat-sat my neighbor’s two cats twice a day many times over the years, ,and they were always waiting at the door when I entered — even when their food bowls were still half full.(why, I don’t know — maybe they, unlike the humans in my life, just find me fascinating). They are now as old in cat years as I am in human years, and I no longer cat-sit them. I miss their “always glad-to-see-you” welcomes.

No one who cat sits Dudley ever sees him. The last person actively searched for him to prove he really existed..

We landed in Toulouse last night, so I’m going to be “off the WP grid” for a while, but I couldn’t help checking out my reader while I wait for the husband to wake up (Hurry up, dude! I want a croissant! Croissant trumps jet lag, no?). I saw the picture of little Pia and just had to comment because I’m now away from the cats and bun. Overnight the petsitter sent pictures and it’s so nice to know they are being so well cared for. I’m sure Pia’s mom feels that way about you, too. #longlivepetsitters

It definitely gives you peace of mind when you know someone is loving and caring for them like you do.
Enjoy your trip… and that croissant!

P.S. I’m laughing out loud at the picture of Pia by her auto-feeder. Her look says, “Don’t judge me, lady. It’s not as much food as it looks like.”

There was a bit of trouble with the automatic feeder so I rebooted it..
They ended up getting twice as much as they normally do. Is it any wonder they liked me..

I love:
a) The suspicious look Pia gives you at the start.
b) That Pia uses actually uses her scratching post.
c) That driveway!

1. She’s a cutie.
2. Our cat flies through scratching posts, positively shreds them.
3. Her driveway starts in open field, then goes through the woods, over a stream and finally opens back up at their house above the river. It’s quite a ride.
