I've had the opportunity to car for many animals of my own and have sat for the same lady many times with her 2 cats. I even adopted her last kitten when she was out of town and couldn't get back in time for the adoption. I've also done some one time care for other families as well.

I have 4 years experience cat sitting. Ever since my family took in a stray kitten when I was 5 years old, I've shared my home with cats. Life without kitties would be a sad thing. To me there's nothing more soothing than a warm, purring cat on your lap or as entertaining as a cat at play. I've rarely met a cat who didn't...
