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.💪😼

Written as "Kainaru," his name means the crest of ocean waves! 

And he's a handsome fellow who lives up to that wonderfully cool name! 

Matching his good looks, he has the loveliest voice, too — such a shame I can't share it with everyone😊 

He played with his string in the sweetest little voice, 

making Kainaru-kun cool and adorable all at once❣️ 

Until 

we meet again, let's play lots and lots🥰

The adorable little cats I had the pleasure of caring for are 

Uni-chan, one year old, a girl. 

And Shirasu-chan, six months old, a girl. 

Hello there~! 

Oh? Did she come to welcome me?? 

Uni-chan: "Oh, that's not Mama." 

— and with that, Uni-chan turned right on her heels😆 

Did she mistake me for Mama? (Ha!) 

Uni-chan, 

do please let me take care of you~~~! 

Uni-chan: "Is that so?" 

Yes! It's lovely to be with you~😘 

Now then, I must get Shirasu-chan out of her house! 

Hello, Shirasu-chan✨ 

Shirasu-chan: "Ah, it's that lady from the other day!" 

— something like that, perhaps?😆 

Still so soft and delicate, Shirasu-chan looks as though she might break if I held her too tight. 

Shirasu-chan is still very much at her playful peak! 

We played and played and played together~💕︎💕︎ 

Uni-chan, the slightly older big sister❣️ 

And that Uni-chan was calm and demure, wrapped in an air of quiet elegance❤️ 

She relaxed for me this much! 

Thank you so much. 

Both of them absolutely love their cat teaser✨ 

There they go, eyeing it up (ha!). 

The two of you did such a wonderful job holding down the fort❣️ 

Uni-chan, Shirasu-chan♡

I truly, sincerely 

look forward to the day we meet again❣️ 🥰

This time, my little companion for some home-alone time was the soft and fluffy caocao-chan. 

On the first day of care, she was quite wary — "Who's this?" "Is it okay to come closer?" 

But once we started playing with her toys, she came cuddling up with sweet little "meow~ meow~"s. She was just adorable. 

On the second day, she welcomed me at the door with a "I've been waiting for you, meow~!" 

We played so much together. caocao-chan, let's play again soon.♥️

Shun-kun and Milky-chan, an eighteen-year-old brother and sister. 

As my visits grew more frequent, they began greeting me with a "meow," letting me know they were hungry. 

With hearty appetites, the two of them are full of life! 

They even let me brush them. 

Milky-chan, who comes close for a little chat. 

And Shun-kun, wonderfully easygoing and sweet. 

Over three days of care, the two of them grew ever so close to me.💕 

I'm already looking forward to seeing these two lovely ones again.

My first visit of the morning was to a brown tabby and white cat. 

This is Mugi-kun. 

"Good morning!" 

"Breakfast time, meow~!" he greeted me, trotting over with a sprightly little step. 

But then — uh-oh, what's this?! 

Near the door of the room… he'd had a little accident💦 

A classic "home-alone" moment! 

"Teehee😜" 

"So sorry, meow~." 

"Kindly see to my breakfast before you tidy up the litter, if you please!" 

"Oh no you don't! Litter comes first in the care routine — and besides, you were the one who made the mess!" 

Aw, he looked so crestfallen… 

I tidied up quickly and got his breakfast ready☺️ 

"Breakfast is served~! Here you go!" 

He came dashing over to his food, and at last, the long-awaited munching time!💕 

"That was delicious! Thank you for the meal!" 

But the truth is, Mugi-kun was still a little peckish💧 

You see, Mugi-kun is a touch on the plump side and tends to eat too fast, so his mom came up with a clever idea — putting half of his food into a plastic bottle with holes in it, so he can eat slowly while he plays. 

Just as his mom intended, Mugi-kun rolled the bottle along as he ate. 

Wonderful!✨✨ 

Sweet, affectionate little Mugi-kun🥰 

Until we meet again!🤗💕
