Intro
If you are reading this page, it is likely that you have the wonderful opportunity but also the great responsibility to cat sit Mezzo while I am having fun far away (š+š¹).
Whether you are a newbie or an experienced cat sitter, this site will provide you with good practices so that his stay at your place is held in the best conditions to fully appreciate his pleasant presence.
Food
It is composed of two meals per day:
- Morning: ~80 g of treats š§
- Evening: 1/2 bag of pĆ¢tĆ© š§ or 10-15 g of treats š§
Use the marked cup š¼ to weight the treats and put them in a bowl.
Note: sometimes Mezzo does not eat the pĆ¢tĆ©, nothing to worry about. If it happens, just give him some extra treats instead.
Always ensure that there is clean water available šµ. Put one or even two bowls of water to replace every day.
You can also give him a candy stick after dinner but not on a daily basis.
Comfort
Clean the litter box once per day from š© (two days max but at your own risk š§»).
For you own comfort, you can use its favorite pled š¾ and force him to stay on it š (for instance, put it on a corner of the table while you are eating).
Precautions
The following measures based on my own experience have to be considered:
- Do not open the windows: if you want to freshen your home, do it room by room by ensuring Mezzo is not in the room and closing the access door. You literally have to check that he is in another room, cats are good at hiding š
- Do not let any string or rope accessible to him: if he starts to swallow it then he may not be able to stop and may choke
- Be careful when closing doors: Mezzo will never be far behind you so it is easy to squeeze him
- Do not give him any other food than his treats and pĆ¢tĆ©
- Try to let the toilet lid down constantly because he can jump on it
