That is awesome
i hire an in home kitty sitter. its less stressful.Just checking now and the app does have a prompt asking to give permission to use my tablet’s microphone.
There was no mention of that being an option when the kennel setup my webcam access. Gonna shoot an email and ask.
Not sure if it’s a good idea or not to have her hear my voice but then not show up.
Check the webcam a few times again today and she’s been under the blanket each time.
Kennel employee emailed me saying she’s been growling at them but also included a pic of her showing interest in a toy they tried getting her to play with.
Her kennel is just 32sqft. It’s like locking her in a bathroom for a week, seems like torture.
Six more nights to go, I’m concerned about any lingering negative effects.

i know you feel bad but you’re being a good cat dad and ensuring she has good care even if she’s not thrilled. don’t beat yourself up.

I had to book the kennel months in advance which won’t work in an emergency or leaving town on short notice.
I’ll have to look into other options to have a plan B & C and maybe D for next time.
Here and there. Mostly around her shoulders. You can't see them from any real distance. She also has a large very dark brown spot on her that you can only see in the proper light.A gray hair here and there or more?
I am so grateful for the kitty sitter I have.She back almost two weeks now none the worse for it.

I am, too. She is a long-time friend, and her life revolves around animals. She fosters all the old and/or sick cats with issues, and she is a full-time pet sitter, although retirement is looming. She comes in, puts the food and fresh water down, cleans out the cat box, then hangs out on the couch til Mae is done with her wet food. While Apollo is hiding under the bed from the dangerous cat-murdering stranger in his house, she plays with Mae with a string toy or the red dot laser. Huge peace of mind for me.I am so grateful for the kitty sitter I have.![]()
Well, in all honesty, they’re probably safer in Oakland than they are at our place in Miramonte. We watch them like hawks when they’re outside there. We’ve seen a few bobcats come through while outside, there are always huge hawks and owls, and we hear coyotes howling all the time, although that is usually during the times the cats are inside. They are never out at night, nor at dusk or dawn. We put them on leashes and harnesses when we first got the place, as they were kinda freaked out. Once they got used to it, and had a better sense of their boundaries, we let them go. We also got them some Tractive GPS collars. They are hardly ever out of our sight when outside. It’s nice, because it forces us to slow down and enjoy the place ourselves! They don’t care for the car ride but absolutely love it there. They know when we’re getting close and start losing their shit once we get about 1/2 mile awayThose cats are living the dream. My cat would likely go nuts if she saw a bird like that within such close range.
Would be awesome to have a place like that were I could let her out but my neighborhood isn’t safe for roaming pets.
Can’t bring a cat to a park like you could with a dog. If something spooked her she’d never be seen again.
Great photo!
