Babysitting!!

Post by Stevievee » 10 Apr 2024, 15:10

Hi all,

We are leaving Titus for the first time this weekend (We have a campervan, so this will be happening more over the summer). My daughter stays at ours when away looking after 'her' cat that she no longer lives with!!

I am leaving daily food bags in the fridge with the right amount of food for each morning but wondered about him missing baths and calcium while we are away (Friday to Monday). This is to save overwhelming her delicate 23 year old mind with more tasks, therefore leaving her brain space to concentrate on breathing and feeding herself (plus HOPEFULLY keeping our house as we left it at the same time).

I'm assuming a few days without his daily bath and calcium won't hurt?

He's booked into a Tortoise Hotel for our main holiday, but that's not until September!

Hi Steve,

Sir Titus will be absolutely fine, and he can have a nice bath and lots of calcium when you get back (this could be the time when he learns how valuable your services are to him).

Have a lovely weekend (and I hope the weather is kind to you).

Nina
