Now, Where Could He Be? — Setagaya-ku, Tokyo
Categories: On the Job > Cats
This time's client is Kotaro-kun, an eleven-year-old chinchilla golden.🐱
A gorgeous-coated fellow, tsundere and very much his own cat.

I'd go to care for him morning and evening, and every time it meant a search — "Kotaro-kun~ where are you?"

Sometimes he'd be sitting alone in the living room, but other times he'd turned into an ornament, or was quietly lounging on the cat tower…
or blending right in with the scratching post…
or a little paw would poke out while I was cleaning.🤣

His voice, you see, is a rare thing to hear.
Over ten visits across these five days, it wasn't until the final day that I was granted a single "meow~."✌️
Even so, he'd let me pet him with a look of bliss, nuzzle up against me, come to my side from behind, and preferred to take his Churu right from my hand.

If I got carried away and petted him a touch too much, I'd be turned down with a "That's enough now."💦
As for the cat teaser, rather than big, dynamic play, he seemed to prefer keeping it within a paw's reach.😂



His beautiful eyes are lovely indeed, but for me, those fluffy little paws were the irresistible highlight.😍

Butcher-kun, Who Can't Resist His Meals — Toyonaka, Osaka
Categories: On the Job > Cats
The first request came two years ago…
Sadly, it ended up being cancelled at the time,
so this was my very first time caring for Butcher-kun, two years in the making🐱

Would he be wary at first and not come near for a while, I wondered?
That's what I'd assumed, at least💡
There's also kibble that comes out automatically, but
I had the mission of giving him his wet food🫡
The moment I started preparing his meal,
over came Butcher-kun, a whole new gleam in his eyes🤭
Fidgeting eagerly around my feet😻


When I set down his dish,
his eyes sparkled as he happily began to eat.
And of course, he polished it all off right then and there😋

Perhaps thanks to that mealtime duty,
he'd come nuzzle up when I reached out my hand,
let me pet him,
and was ever so friendly with me🥰


What's more, whenever I called his name,
Butcher-kun would turn to look, almost without fail,
and it was just adorable❣️

If the chance comes again, I'll come feed you~🤗

So Full of Kindness — Konan-ku, Yokohama
Categories: Dogs > On the Job > Cats
Allow me to introduce them!
Each of them has two names😄.
First,
Hanna-san, also known as Kyaa-chan.

A graceful beauty whom sunflowers suit so well!
Her every movement is so elegant — a lady I'd love to learn from😊.
And next,
Pan-kun, also known as Ochi-kun.

A calm, composed fellow with big, round eyes!
His dignified face is simply wonderful!
And lastly,
Riz-chan, also known as Miki-chan☺️.

Miki-chan is such an affectionate little one,
and her little cries are ever so adorable😊.
Amazingly, they all understand both of their names perfectly😊.
Come mealtime, Kyaa-chan especially
lets the others go first —❣️
such a big sister, only beginning to eat once everyone else has settled down.
And Ochi-kun, too — when Miki-chan comes sniffing around in search, he steps aside with an "After you!!"
Such thoughtful, considerate ones, all of them🥰.

Since the World Cup is in full swing, we all tried a bit of soccer together😁.
Ochi-kun made quite the fine goalkeeper (ha!).
Let's have another match again sometime⚽️😄.

Goku-kun, Who Loves a Good Game of Ball — Tennoji-ku, Osaka
Categories: Dogs > On the Job
Goku-kun was so excited to play that his tail was wagging away right from our very first meeting🐶

He led me all the way to the dog run below his home, where we enjoyed plenty of fetch☀️

Full of energy, Goku-kun would bring the ball right back to me — "Throw it again, quick!"☺️

Let's play lots together again soon~🥰

Mama's Boy, Sweet Chatora-kun — Higashiyodogawa-ku, Osaka
Categories: On the Job > Cats
Chatora-kun, a very shy boy of fourteen.
His very first stay home alone🏠

His mama is such a kind and wonderful person.
At our meeting, she shared with me the story of how she met Chatora-kun, and of her many other beloved companions over the years and the life they've shared.
Thank you so much💓
She truly is such a gentle mama✨
Now then, the first day of care.
Chatora-kun~!
Ah, there he is!
Hello there~🥰
I got to touch him💓💓💓

Of the six days of care, the only time he showed himself was that very first day.
So please, do enjoy these precious shots from day one❣️



Chatora-kun.
Thank you for letting me care for you.
If we meet again, I'd love for us to chat just a little more next time.
Chatora-kun.
Every single time, I could see the traces of him searching all around for his mama — and it brought me to tears.
You were lonely, weren't you…
You held down the fort for nearly a whole week!
You really are amazing👏✨
Chatora-kun.
You did so, so well~~~😽
Sweet, sweet Chatora-kun♥️
Well then, see you again~👋

Still and Lively, a Contrasting Pair — Zama, Kanagawa
Categories: Dogs > On the Job > Mini Pigs
Milk-chan, a micro pig.
With a cow-print coat
and a red ribbon that suits her so well, she's a lovely girl🐄🎀

Roy-kun, a Welsh Corgi.
A handsome fellow, five months old🥰

Milk-chan is usually ever so quiet, but
she's quite the foodie,
and she reacts right away when I start preparing meals.
Click, click, click, click…
Ah, here she comes (ha!).
The sound of her little hooves on the flooring tells me
she's on her way over🤭

Roy-kun waits alongside her, too🐾
Can you do a "sit," I wonder?
When I asked him,
『❔』
he looked puzzled for just a moment, but
he did it beautifully👏
And can you do a "shake"?
He did it! He earnestly placed his short little paw right in my hand😂
The sight of it was just too, too adorable😍💕
By the way,
I'm told Milk-chan can do "spin" and "shake," too😲!!
Pigs really are clever, aren't they?🐷✨


Milk-chan,
at first, didn't seem interested in me at all😅
But
as my visits added up, she grew used to me
and began coming over to my side✨

Roy-kun is still quite the little rascal, but
when I spoke to him,
he made lovely, steady eye contact👀
Thank you, both of you🐖🐕️💕
Remember me until the day we meet again☺️
