Over the Thanksgiving holiday, Michelle had the pleasure of pet sitting for Gregg and Leanna Martin and Co. By Company, I am refering to their 4 beautiful cats.
When we went over for the set up appointment, we were greeted at the door by an orange tabby named Rusty. When Leanna opened her door to us, there we were, kneeling down, doting on the orange beauty...and she was loving every minute of it. Leanna, chuckling about Rusty's friendliness informed us that Rusty wouldn't be difficult to find when Michelle made her visits. She was certainly right about that! Wherever Michelle went, Rusty would get there first, as if to lead the way.
During our set up appt, Leanna told us that one of the cats, Angel, (dark tiger coloring) had just had an operation and would be more than likely not too interested in visitors. The other 2 cats, Midnite (black), and Cleo (white) would probably be completely out of sight for the entire visit both days.
Well...Michelle had a very pleasant suprise. You see, she has a very special way with cats. They magnetize to her. Angel, either in spite of or because of her surgery, did come to Michelle both days for an extended time of affection. Midnite made a stealthy debut, and Cleo even peered in for lengthy periods of time through the square, flapless cat door that gave her a good look at Michelle's activity. It was a very victorious first encounter with our new clients and I give all the credit to my gifted assitant and daughter, Michelle.
Leanna graciously bestowed upon us very kind words of gratitude for the work that was done and the gifts Michelle left behind (most of which contained catnip). This assignment made our Thanksgiving just a little bit special.
