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.😊

This is Chokota-kun. 

He used to be a shy boy who'd watch me from his hiding spot, but after meeting a few times, he's come to play with me😊 

And this is Moguta-kun. 

While I play with Chokota-kun, Moguta-kun keeps a very close watch on me🥰 

Both of them have the softest, fluffiest bodies and adorable big round eyes. 

They always soothe my heart🙌 

Thank you, always😊 

Chokota-kun, Moguta-kun, let's play again soon🥰

A Scottish Fold, 

a five-year-old boy. 

At our meeting, 

he hid himself away🥷 — "Kinako-kun." 

During the care itself, 

he stayed in his own private room, 

so there was no hiding — "Kinako-kun." 

On the first day, Kinako-kun 

wore the most thoroughly grim expression.😢 

Such a handsome boy, and yet…😵 

just like this.⤵️ 

Meanwhile, 

turning three this year, 

the Norwegian Forest Cat 

Anko-chan 

had been, right from our meeting, 

just like this.⤵️ 

So beautiful🤩 

"And who might you be?" 

And right away, 

nuzzling, purring away♪ 

Not even shy about showing her tummy, 

"Pet me~" 

"Play with me~" 

I simply couldn't resist💓 

But I can't just bask in delight! 

Work, work💨 

Kinako-kun, who'd been in wary mode at first — 

well, that was Kinako-kun. 

As the care went on, 

he seemed 

to come to understand me. 

He soon began 

eating his meals right away, too♪ 

Anko-chan, who'd started off 

eating on the right, 

would poke her face into Kinako-kun's dish, and then — 

Swaaap❣️ 

The food in both bowls is exactly the same. 

And yet this ritual simply must be performed😅 

Anko-chan, of course, 

and Kinako-kun as well 

joined in the play. 

I was warmed right through with joy. 

♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪

Once we'd grown nice and close, 

it was time for their beloved 

Churu treats. 

And when it was time for "See you again~,"👋 

that very moment, 

there was Anko-chan, as if to say, "You're leaving already?" 

— that was Anko-chan⤵️ 

And with his expression grown so wonderfully soft, 

that was Kinako-kun⤵️ 

My heart was utterly aflutter. 

Their very first stay with a pet sitter 

went so very beautifully🎉 

Gorgeous, adorable 

An-chan and Kii-chan, 

thank you🥰

Facing their very first long stay alone — ten whole days — 

were three lovely cats: Mei-chan, Rin-chan, and Kabu-kun. 

Gentle, easygoing Mei-chan.😺 

For the first day or two, perhaps she was nervous — 

she wouldn't eat her canned food, 

and whenever I came near, she'd slip quietly away 

and move to another room.🐾💨 

But little by little, she seemed to grow used to me. 

When I began preparing her meals, she'd wait close by, 

and day by day, she ate more and more.🎵 

Apart from mealtimes, she kept a comfortable distance, 

passing the days at her own gentle pace. 

Mei-chan is under treatment for an illness, 

so she also needed her medicine, 

but she took it without much fuss at all — 

such a very good girl. 

Rin-chan, the one who warmed to me most of all. 

From the very first day, she let me pet her, 

and played with her toys with me — 

I was able to truly connect with Rin-chan.🙌 

As she grew comfortable, she'd roll right over while I petted her, 

asking sweetly for more affection. 

Of the three cats, she took to me the most.🥰 

And Kabu-kun, who is ever so timid. 

Kabu-kun, whose coat and markings look much like Mei-chan's, 

never once came out while I was there. 

But he always stayed somewhere I could see him — 

and that's the wonderful thing about Kabu-kun.😊👍 

At first he wouldn't touch his Churu treats, 

but after a few days, he began to eat them, 

and this sitter was overcome with joy. 

During this stay, 

the one most affected by the change in her surroundings 

was Rin-chan. 

After a few days had passed, 

she stopped playing with her toys, 

she wouldn't eat her Churu treats right away, 

and Rin-chan seemed downhearted, her usual spark gone. 

There were small changes in her condition, too…💦 

Hoping to ease her worries as much as I could, 

from that day on, I spoke softly to Rin-chan — 

"It's alright, it's alright." 

"Mama will surely come home." 

"Mama is doing her best, so let's do our best too, Rin-chan." — 

and I kept petting her, slowly and gently, all the while.🤗 

In the end, her energy and appetite returned, and her condition settled. 

What a relief!😭✨ 

Through this first long stay alone, 

even with the stress of Mama being away, 

all three of them were brave and came through it together.💪😼
