OK. Just did the whole intro thing with a new cat sitter. My friend who
usually sits for me and I for her will be out of town the same days I am.
I'm leaving for home Thursday and coming back Monday (purrs please. I'm
always a wuss about travel). So I had to hire someone. I picked a different
one from last time (which was some time ago and I didn't care for the young
man). I really, really wish the lady I liked SO much that moved to Kentucky
could do it and I *hear* she is now back in town but working for someone
else. If I could figure out who, I for sure would try and get her, but too
late, I already engaged this woman. Now, she is older (which is something of
a bonus I think) and she is certainly in to cats. She was very good with
them and her cat has a temperment like Pearl's so that is good. She even got
to pet Sugar, which shows she is fairly intersting to cats. It's just ME she
makes a bit nervous. I can tell this lady has an odd kick in her gallop.
Now, I should be the last one to disparrage this as I do too, but I think
with people she is just not as comfortable. I think it will be a good person
for the cats, but being she is new, I will of course worry. So any stray
purrs for a nice sitting experience next weekend would be appreciated. I
will say they seemed bent on showing off. Pearl chased after BOTH Grant and
Sugar while she was here, which was pretty odd. I mean, she will still do
this on occasion, but she was pretty perky and even though she was chased,
Sugar did not retreat under the bed. So I don't know if that is good or bad.
I certainly hope they do not do that when she comes over all the time!! Wish
us all luck.
