This is Hector-kun. 

With such a dignified face, you'd never guess it — but he's fifteen years old! 

And this October, he'll turn sixteen.☘️ 

Is the secret to his good health a tasty meal? 

He never skips his grooming, either! 

Suki-chan simply adores people.💕 

She'd follow right after me: "Pay attention to me, pay attention to me!" 

Pressing herself up against the window, 

or keeping a close watch as I cleaned the litter box.🐾 

Or was she actually waiting for her meal? 

Mealtime is always a battle⚡ for the prize — Hector-kun did his very best to make sure Suki-chan didn't snatch his away! 

Let's meet again, happy and well!🐱

This is Konbu-kun, a British Shorthair. 

A boy, four years old. 

"Hello there~!" 

— I called as I came in, but he was nowhere to be seen💦 

Where could he be? Time for a little "are-you-alive" check! 

And there he was (ha!). 

Up on top of his cage, 

he'd settled himself into a carry bag (a backpack one)!😆 

On day one, we got acquainted with my "lick-the-Churu-off-my-finger" strategy.😆 

And of course, my hands were nicely sanitized with an alcohol-free cleaner beforehand. 

After that, he vanished from sight again.😅 

By day two, he'd come to recognize me as "the person who brings the Churu" (ha!). 

And on day three, as if he'd been waiting for me, Konbu-kun came over himself with a little "meow~." 

He nuzzled right up against me. 

This was the happiest, most joyful moment of all.😭😂🥰👍 

It's everything a pet sitter could wish for. 

Dignified and handsome, clearly showered with his family's love, just a touch bashful, and ever so friendly — that's Konbu-kun.💕︎💕︎ 

Should the chance ever come again, I sincerely hope to see him — that's this sitter's heartfelt wish.🙏 

Thank you so much!

Chikuwa-kun, Penny-chan, Oreo-kun, and Apollo-chan. 

I came to care for these four lovely cats. 

At our meeting, the owner told me about them: 

"All four are extremely shy, so even if you don't see them, 

please don't mind it and just carry on." 

Those were the owner's kind words. 

On the first day, the room was perfectly silent when I entered, 

but the cats were most likely upstairs, 

giving it their all in a masterful game of hide-and-seek. 

As I went about my care, I could somehow picture them 

listening closely to my every move, 

and it filled me with a happy little feeling. 

On the second day, Apollo-chan, with her beautiful tortoiseshell coat, 

finally showed herself. She even chatted away, almost as if singing a little song, 

just for me. 

Sadly, Chikuwa-kun, Penny-chan, and Oreo-kun 

stayed out of sight right up until the final day. 

But "we've checked the pet camera and they're all doing well," 

the owner kindly let me know — so I was able to finish my care 

with complete peace of mind. 

Chikuwa-kun, Penny-chan, Oreo-kun, and Apollo-chan, 

may you always stay happy, healthy, and close together☺️

This time, I came to care for 

Larry-chan, an adorable black cat.💕 

At our meeting, I'd gotten to see her looking lovely up on the bed, so I arrived for the first day of care with my spirits soaring. 

Huh? She's… no-where… to be found… 

Well, this happens often enough with cats. 

So first I cleared my care-taking mission, and then the cat hunt began — which is part of the fun, too!😊 

Under the sofa, behind the curtains, in the gaps between the furniture — I kept searching, and at last I found her‼️ 

There was Larry-chan, under the bed.❤️ 

Yawning now and then, she was clearly in relaxed mode — though sadly, this time, all I got was a bit of eye contact from her hiding spot.🤭 

I'd love a rematch next time!👍 

See you again, Larry-chan👋

The one I visited this time 

was Koto-chan, a three-year-old calico cat.😺 

It had been a while since their last request, 

and this time it was a three-day stay.😊 

Last time she was ever so shy, 

and wouldn't touch her treats at all, 

but this time — would you believe it — 

she ate her treats all three days! 

🌱Day 1🌱 

☘️Day 2☘️ 

🍀Day 3🍀 

Once again, she did a wonderful job holding down the fort! 

I'm already looking forward to seeing her 

happy and well again next time.😸 

See you again next time, Koto-chan!🧡

This time, the lovely Ragdoll Tanu-chan. 

Day by day, her expression slowly began to change — 

please, take a look!😄 

Day One. 

"Who are you?" 

"Please don't come so close…" 

— that's just what she seemed to be saying.😅 

I thought she'd greeted me with a little "meow," 

but then came a cute little growl, and even a "hiss!" 

That's how she spoke to me that day.😄 

Day Two. 

She was still a little on guard, but 

even as I edged a bit closer, she slipped away far less often.☺️ 

Though if I got a touch too close, she'd still tuck herself away just a little. 

No more growling or hissing — she padded around the room with the sweetest little meows.😊 

Day Three. 

And then — would you believe it — Tanu-chan came and nuzzled right up against me! (Such a shame I couldn't capture it on camera.🥹) 

She showed me her tummy, too — a wonderful surprise from Tanu-chan on our very last day. 

Her expression seemed to have softened, just a little… 

Even with treats — on Day Two she wouldn't take them, even held right to her mouth, but by Day Three she ate them happily. Feeling the distance between us shrink, little by little, made me so very glad.☺️ 

Sweet little Tanu-chan.💕 

I do hope we'll meet again. 

Thank you so much!😊
