I’ve been cat-sitting for some friends who are on vacation. It isn’t too hard, the cat doesn’t really need much because it has a big auto-feeder and auto-waterer. What the cat does need is attention. It meets me at the door and begs to be pet.
I drove over there this afternoon after taking Kaitlyn back to school from lunch. I sat in a chair and the cat jumped up on my lap to be pet. He was purring and nuzzling me… it was really relaxing. So relaxing that I woke myself up with my own snoring. I’d dozed off for about a half hour. I guess it was a cat nap. There’s something so relaxing about sitting in a cool, dark room with a purring kitty on your lap… in someone else’s house so you can’t be doing laundry, or vacuuming or anything else.. just relaxing. I may have to volunteer to cat sit more often.
