Toddler Terror
SHE IS BACK !!!!! Finally! Not only did she leave us alone over night, but was also late: she promised to be back by 9 am, but wasn’t here until 11 am ! She didn’t even feel guilty for her delay, but claims that she had no choice ?!
Mom was in charge of her 1,5-year-old godson. She picked him up at 4 pm, slept at his place, and was supposed to drop him off at daycare at 8.30 am. Unfortunately, he became sick, coughed through the night and had a temperature. (Oh, doesn’t this imp know how to make a scene??) Our human says that you can’t bring sick children to daycare, and that you absolutely can’t leave a toddler alone. So she had to stay two more hours until his mother came up with a solution. For some complicated reason, his mother was out-of-town and his father abroad.
We don’t think it’s complicated. Everybody knows that toddlers are terrorists. No wonder his parents run away and blackmailed our human to take care of him. She falls for everybody who’s a brat, but looks cute and plays helpless – after all, that’s exactly what we cats do for a living.
So she can’t leave a toddler for 2 hours on his own, but us for many many hours?? Let’s do the math: she left at 3.30 pm and came home at 11.00 am. In other words, she was away for 19,5 hours!!
Bah. There’s no way we’ll let her catch up on some sleep after taking care of a whining toddler last night. Feline friends: what is the longest your human ever left you without a catsitter?? Are almost 20 hours OK??

Our Mom has left us for 2 weeks(!) with a catsitter, but we really like her and call her “Other Mom”. She gives us treats and caters to our every whim, which Regular Mom doesn’t. So when Regular Mom returns, we are happy to see her but sad to lose Other Mom’s indulgent attentions. ~Little & Tyler

We have to admit that our catsitter was indeed awesome and “spoiled us rotten” to use Mom’s words. (We think we just got what we deserved!). /Tessa and Kajsa

Well if it makes you feel any better, my Mom used to leave her Angel Bobo 48 hours with NO CAT SITTER! Just food and water! With me, that has never happened, ONLY because I have a woofie brother. Woofies can’t be left for 48 hrs with no one, they will POOP everywhere!! MOL!

Waaaaaaa. This doesn’t make me (Kajsa) feel better, but our silly human. Gnarg. Guess we’ve to start pooping everywhere? /Kajsa

You poor kitties. I never leave my cats slone longer than 30 minutes without Grammie here to kitty sit and keep the treats flowing.

So unfair!! 30 minutes?! We want such a service, too! /Kajsa and Tessa

Oh no, poor kitties ! We feel your pain ! Can you imagine that one time our humans abandoned us for 5 days and just asked the neighbor to come for feeding us and petting us three times a day ? Purrs

Oh, this is actually Mom’s idea of a catsitter!!! Bah. We want live-in staff. /Kajsa and Tessa

Wow, sounds like your mom had her hands full with a sick toddler. I hope he is better now. Although she was late, I’m glad your mom could come back to you 🙂 It’s so hard to leave my boys home to go to work every day! I’ve been doing this for years but I’m still not used to it 🙂

But she wasn’t even getting any money for this! We do get that humans have to work to buy us food and treats, and keep our home warm and safe, but we didn’t get any benefits from here being away.

We’re with you…toddlers are tiny terrorists.
August 28, 2017 @ 13:18
Right? We’re surprised that this large group is totally overlooked by propaganda politicians?!

Unlike cats, little humans are fragile and need nearly constant supervision. I’m glad you enjoyed your cat sitter and that your mom is home.

Sigh. So why do humans still claim that they’re the most advanced species on earth?? Feline mothers do leave their kittens alone for some time. /Kajsa and Tessa

Those mini-humans are very scary and noisy too!
August 28, 2017 @ 13:21
So why does Mom voluntarily look after a toddler? It’s not her child, so she’s not fooled by hormones, and she neither got any money. Sigh. /Tessa and Kajsa

Our mom would leave her two original cats by themselves over weekends sometimes. She *claims* they didn’t mind but we have no way of knowing the truth. That was eons ago.

Bah. Bad servant. Humans should NEVER leave cats alone! They should never sleep while we’re awake either. Scandal! Revolution ahead!!
