Food & water bowls are always washed up & then food is given as per your instructions.  I administer medication as well.  I’ve learnt the tricks over the years of how to hide tablets that need to be given – a tablet could be squished into a piece of treat stick, dipped in pate or inserted into a piece of chicken. 

I tend not to go off & do other jobs like litter trays, so I can watch your cat is eating ok.  Especially if theres more than one cat – I’ve found that theres usually one thats greedier than the other! 

Then whilst they are having a little wash/clean after eating, I see to any litter trays incase they need the toilet straight after eating.  If they have a cat flap I always check that it is ok (clear from obstructions & if its a microchip cat flap that the red light isn’t flashing for the batteries to be changed). 

The final part of my role is where the most time is spent.  Sitting with your little ones, I give them lots of fuss & attention.  I do talk to them, they seem to like this & feel reassured.  Brushing them helps form a bond with me but its ok if they hate the sign of a brush!  I do take photos to send to you but I try not to focus too much on this.  I feel your little ones would prefer interacting with me instead of me trying to take their photo every visit.
