Being a cat owner is a full-time job. It requires tons of time, patience, dedication, and attentiveness. While we usually try to spend as much time with our cats as possible, there are moments when we have to leave the house for a few hours, days, or even weeks. During moments like these, we have ensure we get a proper cat sitter to stay with our cats; feed them, and take great care of them. Finding a sitter isn't always easy, you have to find someone you trust, someone who's responsible and reliable. But even when you think you've found the perfect person for the job, your cat may be thinking something else. 

That brings us to today's article. We recently stumbled upon a Twitter thread where someone posted a photo of their void. The void is not happy, feeling defensive, and showing it's teefies. Oh, did we mention that it wasn't the owner that took the picture, but the cat sitter instead? As per usual, cat people quickly chimed in with similar photos they've received from their sitters. We hope you enjoy these! 

Give the gift of kindness this holiday season by donating to our Giving Tuesday fundraiser to help homeless pets and animals in need! It's time to pay your cat tax!

    Vertebrate - Jared Parkinson @jared_parkinson Replying to @robertoupdates and @chedstack My Penguin is one of the sweetest, most affectionate cats I have ever met, but only to me.

    Cat - Jared Parkinson @jared parkinson Replying to @jared_parkinson @robertoupdates and @chedstack She has also never made friends with the other family cats, with a particular dislike for tuxedo cats. Her mortal enemy was my most handsome Archimedes until he passed in 2020. We of course then moved in with my sister where Dazzle the tux lives 5:30 PM. Aug 27, 2022. Twitter for iPhone 39023 3830
