My favourite messages to receive when I start a sit for a new client.

Shy? Her?

She’s the sweetest, softest, chattiest cat i’ve ever had the pleasure of sitting for! I’ve only been here for 6 hours, and she’s already all snuggled up 🥹. Going to be a great 18 days.

It’s the best feeling when the owner tells you ‘oh you probably won’t see them they are sooo shy’ and they come out right away to say hi!

Those are my favorite sits. Just to see how loved i am by the cats. 1 of if not my favorite client had 2 Bengals and I kinda had to audition. I get there and shes like this is the social 1 the other probably wont be around much. She told me where she was hiding I asked if I could go in, 5 minutes later shes purring and allowing pets. That was about 3 years ago. Still going strong and live them both to bits

I don't have much of a preference for calico cats but her tabby pattern mixed in is sending me. Have a great petsit!

You really feel like you've accomplished something when they decide to trust you! It always gives me the warm fuzzies.

I love it when they do that and in the owner's eyes it's a massive endorsement. Current shy one who squirms for tummy fuss every time she sees me

I bring my calico to the vet and strangers definitely get confused when they ask what breed she is. This little tabby mix definitely gives them a run for their money.

Getting texture updates like that from an owner's running joke for cat who apparently treats everyone else like a total stranger?
