Not everyone signs the photo release waiver. Also some are shy!

That’s Albus! He’s sweet and derpy and as you can see, ridiculously beautiful.

I'm SO damn jealous.

I spent Xmas sitting 9 cats once. It was excellent - spiked eggnog and catnip. Bacon and eggs for everyone, and bird videos on the big screen.

Most I've ever sat is 14, for a breeder of Siberians. Six adults and eight kittens. Right now I have only one Siberian.

Can I ask how you got into your line of work? Do you need any specific qualifications or licences? I am genuinely interested. ♡

u/Ilove-kittens 16h ago

I just started on Rover one day. No special experience or qualifications- I just love kitties. I had a fair bit of good luck and was able to spin off my own full time business after about 6 months. I’m very, very grateful.

Technically I care for 20+ (I caretake a colony of about 20 homeless cats) plus 4 pet cats and one stray that lives part time at my home and I live with two other kitties. They all got chicken, ahi tuna steaks, sardines and/or cat treats (depending on their preference) for Christmas Day. I do the same for thanksgiving and new years too. Best way to spend the holidays!

I’m a cat sitter too! Not even sure how many cats I visited this Christmas, but here’s one of my favorite pics.

Sounds like a perfect day

u/usingthenameusername 11h ago

Yes!!!! That is the best way to spend everyday, especially special days!!

Did they enjoy the holiday? Ours had mixed reactions. Some didn’t mind the wrapping unwrapping, some loved it and others disappeared, until it was over, to get their gifts:)
