This time, I cared for Yuzu-chan. 

Eleven years old. 

Right from our first meeting, 

she'd bark a little, but 

Yuzu-chan is a reserved little one. 

She quickly took refuge in her cage😅 

When I petted her, I could almost hear a little "Eek~💦💦" 

— that's the feeling I got😅 

But she let me touch her all the same🤭 

On the day of care, too, she'd bark a little, but 

she quickly took refuge in her cage. 

While I cleaned up after her, 

she came out of her cage and joined the watch patrol. 

Even when I set down her food — still on watch patrol🤭 

After watching her for a little while, 

she came a bit closer. 

She ate👏👏 

She'd left a little, so I let it be, 

and finished up my visit. 

When the owner returned home, 

I was told that her meal, along with the one set in the automatic feeder, 

had all been eaten up 

— and that put my mind at ease. 

To think of Yuzu-chan, nervous in her little body, 

doing her very best to guard her home 

— it makes her just too adorable for words😊 

I'd be so happy to see her again. 

I'm looking forward to that day😍

Nice to meet you, and hello! 

I'm Kobi-chan, the resident cat. 

She welcomed me with the gentlest face✨🥺✨ 

And next, this is Jiku-chan🐾​ 

She treated me to a lovely little pose✨​ 

The two of them are the very best of friends🍒 

Irresistibly adorable😍 

The two of them flew all the way to Japan to get here✈️ 

Jiku-chan loves playing with a laser pointer. 

​​

And she's ever so fast on her feet!! 

Both of them adore their Churu treats💕 

Now, which flavor shall it be today? 

Every single moment of my visit overflowed with cuteness, comfort, and happiness💝 

​

Kobi-chan and Jiku-chan gave me so very much happiness. 

So grateful for the chance to meet them✨ 

Thank you for letting me care for them these four days😊 

Kobi-chan, thank you for seeing me off💝 

​

Until we meet again🌼

Two-year-old Kabu-kun is wonderfully friendly. 

He always comes to greet me, purring away. 

Sweet Kabu-kun loves being brushed, too. 

He loves playing with his toys as well — just too adorable. 

Fourteen-year-old Kiri-chan licked up her medicine beautifully. 

The two of them held down the fort at home so calmly — such good little ones. Thank you so much!😊

Even raised by the same mom and dad, their personalities often turn out so different, don't they? 

The two I cared for this time are just like that — Mocchi-kun, an incredibly friendly flame-point Siamese, and Imo-chan, a calico who takes her time with new friends. 

Let's start with Mocchi-kun. 

With zero wariness in him, Mocchi-kun came nuzzling at my legs the moment I stepped in, then rolled right over. 

He'd hop right up onto my shoulder, or climb up from below to perch there.😍 

He loves my lap and being held, too. 

And a few pats on his bottom had him thoroughly pleased — "You may continue." 

He's full of energy with the cat teaser, too. 

Even while completely smitten with Mocchi-kun's charm, I couldn't stop wondering about Imo-chan.👀 

I'm told Imo-chan usually spends most of her time upstairs. 

"Imo-chan~! I've got Churu for you~ come on down~" 

But calls like that from me weren't enough to bring her down so easily.😂 

Still, she seemed a little curious about who was here and what they were up to, and now and then she'd come down from upstairs. 

"Ah, you're that sitter from the other day." 

The moment she appeared, it was Churu time without delay! 

Once she'd eaten her Churu, back upstairs she went. 

And yet, whenever the mood struck, she'd come down again to sniff at my bag or settle by the window. 

The cat teaser? Still a bit too soon.😂 

Let's grow closer, little by little.😊

モカくん16歳

Moka-kun can't quite stand on his own anymore, but his will to rise is as strong as ever. Whenever he's awake, he wriggles about as if to say, "Help me up!" 

One, two, one, two — we did our exercises together. 

Crouching low to keep him company turned out to be quite the workout for me too. (Maybe this is my chance to shed a few pounds?) 

I kept the Totoro walking tune looping in my head, but I was the one who gave up first😂 

A little rest along the way matters, too. 

Some days he sleeps soundly and deep, 

and other days, sleep just won't come for Moka-kun💤 

That, too, is part of caring for a beloved senior companion. 

I'm so grateful to share in each precious day of Moka-kun's life🙏 

May you enjoy plenty of delicious meals, 

walk all you like on strong little legs, 

and may your days be filled with sweet, peaceful sleep✨

Nice to meet you! Let's have a lovely two days together. 

This is Asahi-kun, a Yorkshire Terrier. 

He's adorable and quite the handsome pup💖 

Asahi-kun has one rather unusual little signal. 

It's putting on his harness and leash and saying, "Let's go for a walk~!" 

Now then, what could this signal actually mean? 

(…Isn't that just a walk?!🤔) 

You'd think so~ normally, that is… 

And the answer is… this! 

It's mealtime!🍲 

After his meal and a little rest, when I pick up the walking bag, then it's time for a real walk😃 

Running and walking with plenty of energy,🐾💨🐾💨 

then a little break on a bench. 

After the walk, Asahi-kun relaxes at home. 

I'd love to see him again for another visit~😊 

Let's go for a walk together again, too🐾 

Until we meet again🥰🥰🥰
