Mom was out for a while today and when she came back I noticed there was something different about her. Hmmm, she was smiling and humming, there are dark hairs on her shorts, her hands smelled like cat treats, and her ankles smelled like....OMC another cat. Oh oh! Where was Mom? Where is that other cat? It better not be coming here to live! Uh uh, no way! I hit her with a thousand questions before she could even have her dinner!
It turns out...one of Mom's friends went away on vacation today. They took their dog with them but asked my Mom to watch their cat and feed their fish. (I asked Mom if the rest of the note said "don't forget to feed the fish...to the cat!) She said it did not say that...it just said "Feed the fish". So Mom will be checking in on "Silly" twice a day. "Silly" is a dark, fluffy long haired cat with really big paws. Kinda shy, but very talkative. She talked to Mom from the top of the stairs but was not really sure about coming down and visiting with Mom, but eventually did. My Mom stayed a while, talked to Silly, fed the fish, checked the litterbox and then left.
Mom is worried about the fish. She has never taken care of fish before. She hopes she don't find any floating before the week is up!
So all is well with me and Mom. No jealousy, there is not some new love in her life. I am still her favorite (at least, that is what she tells me).
Happy Father's Day to all you Cat Daddies!
Purrs, Skylar

awww Skylar your mom is currently catsitting. Mom has done that for her friend before, and I had all those same questions. Wheeew what a relief you don't have another cat coming in to take away your time with mom.

Glad your Mom isn't cheating on you. We have times here where my family comes home smelling like d-o-g-s and then I know they've been doing that "sitting on dogs" thing for our friends.

Sometimes, they come home from Sweets' shelter, with strange hairs and smelling of cats... Many, many cats. I'm cool with that, as long as the cats in the shelter, stay in the shelter.

Your friend's fish, should be easy enough to take care of (without casualties) I'm pretty sure though that that note for your Mom does say "Don't forget to feed the Fish {to the cat.}"
Except that part is probably in top-secret invisible ink ;)

Skylar-
Make sure you rub your mom's ankles extra hard before she visits Silly. That will keep everything purrfectly clear.
Meows,
Meep

Fish are easy if it's just a week. Just don't give them too much food and they'll still be swimming a week later. Too much is worse that not enough.
Poor lonely Silly, that would be really hard. Glad your mom can spend a little time with her!! Luv, Tink

Diamond had that experience the other day! Mom and Dad had stopped in a store and they had what Mom called the cutest little puppy. It was a girl doggie, yellow Lab mix. I sat there and watched Diamond sniff Mom off and on for an whole hour.

Skylar, tell your Mom to have fun with the fish and Silly. Heehee... What a name!
