Cat Sitting


I'm cat-sitting for Noel, while her mom's away in sunny ARUBA! Man, am I jealous! Noel arrived on Thursday night, and while she was quiet for the first couple of hours, at about 1:30, she started a non-stop meowing racket. This caused some issues with my sleeping (I couldn't), and my own 2 cats (they were dying to get into the room she was in). I checked in on her a couple of times between 1:30 and 5, and then, I grabbed a pillow and a blanket and curled up on the rug in the room with her for an hour. That seemed to work. I can understand her concern. She's an indoor cat and probably doesn't get out much. Plus, she could probably smell my cats, and could definitely hear them scratching at the door, ready to pounce!!

She's totally calm now and she's also in a better room. One that doesn't smell like it was freshly painted, and warm! The other room was a little drafty. Here, in the dining room, she has access to windows, and can watch birds in the shrubs. Plus, the dining room table has padded chairs, and it's nice and dark underneath the table, hidden by the table cloth.

Here's a pic of happy Noel (po quality; taken w/my camera phone).
