Tales of a Cat Sitter 🐾

One last night together.

Benji and Banjo have enjoyed a nice warm evening sun on the balcony. They absolutely loved it 🥰

Last night when I wanted to go to sleep, Benji was sitting smack dab in middle of my bed staring at me with this
"where do you think you're going?" face 😂🤣

She eventually conceded the bed to me and decided to hang around on the edge for a little while 🥰

All the cats hide when they are being picked up to go home.
Most parents think it's cause they don't want to leave at all.

And sometimes they actually don't cause they had an amazing stay, but it's mostly just cause they don't like the ride back home.

It always breaks my heart.
No matter how much I prepare them for their departure 🥺

I’ve had a wonderful time with Benji and Banjo.
Hope to see them again in the future 🥰

Willow has been here more times than I can count, but never for 3 whole weeks.

I love to have her around 🥰

Inwas sent a gift with a super cute and sweet card that had a thank you note for cat sitting Banjo and Benji.

It made me tear up reading that 🥹🥰

Willow is already feeling at home again, usually that takes an hour for her to just settle in again.

But she knows this place and me so well by now, that it's all good.

Her mommy and daddy will have a long vacation and she knows that she is safe here. 🥰

Willow is crazy about my neighbor who sadly moved away.
But all of a sudden a new neighbour came out of his door.
When he saw her he greeted her. Seemed rude to film him, though 🫢
But I did not expect that 😂

It’s raining pretty hard and Willow is enjoying the smell and sound of it.
Having a roof above us is a very nice way to enjoy it on the balcony.

So we sat there together just enjoying the smell and sound 🥰

Willow is such a funny cat, she can do these random things that make me laugh 😆

Not always do I catch it on camera, but when I do, I’ll post it. 😁

Willow can get so silly, she makes me laugh out loud 🤣

I always wanted to be an archaeologist since I was young, I never imagined it would be this 😂
It does come with treasures of the purring kind 😁

Willow’s spa evening 🥰
It took a few days to get her used to it, but here we are.

Cats really love being as close to their humans as possible 😂

Just hanging with muh homies 😆

Behind Big John’s Beer: When Old Horses Find Their Way Back to Themselves 🐎💗

For those who visited Colby’s Crew rescue centre, Big John seemed like a distinguished old gentleman enjoying a luxurious retirement. The enormous draft horse had a morning and evening ritual that never failed to surprise first-time visitors: a can of beer in the morning, another in the evening, along with relaxing massages to soothe his tired muscles.

Yet behind that unusual scene was something more meaningful. Big John’s enthusiasm for beer was not simply a publicity stunt, nor was it merely an eccentric preference.

In traditional veterinary practice, beer, particularly dark beer rich in barley malt, has long been used as a supplementary health treatment for working horses. Horses have a specialised hindgut fermentation system, and natural brewer’s yeast can provide B vitamins that may support appetite and digestive function.
