Diary of a Cat Care B&B: Snapshots

Okay, I've been talking a lot lately about being injured in the line of duty at the cats only boarding facility. But I don't want you to think that it's all biting and scratching... or that I don't enjoy my work there. So I thought I'd share a few of my recent favorite moments from the boarding facility.

Brothers Will Be Brothers...

We have two male cats from the same family (though not related by blood, just by adoption) at the B&B right now. The first time the boys were in the playroom together, I witnessed this interaction: the grey cat walks up behind the black cat and swats him on the butt twice. The black cat just looked over his shoulder with his ears back. The grey cat backed up a few steps, then leaned forward and gave his brother a quick lick. Typical younger brother behavior, right? Younger Brother: "Pay attention to me!" Older Brother: "Are you crazy?" Younger Brother: "I love you, bro!"

My Juggling Skills Need Work...

The condos at the boarding facility are stacked three high. This morning I was cleaning a top condo and had stacked two empty bowls up with a half full water dish. I was balancing the bowls in one hand and closing the door with the other. The cat in the middle condo casually reached out and pushed the stack of bowls, giving me a nice, refreshing shower.

Those Windows Are Really Clean...

Our isolation rooms (for cats who are sick or who can't have vaccinations or just need some peace and quiet) have sliding glass doors. One of my coworkers was checking in a new guest, going over the basics with the owner. I glanced over to say hello... and walked full speed into the closed door. Good thing it only hurt my pride!
