As mentioned previously, my catsitter has been sectioned and if anyone fancies sitting in rural Wales, near the Brecon Beacons National Park, on a hilltop with a choice of house (we have a house each, long story, next to each other), very old cat, let me know. Can supply pictures of house and cat. Our poor sitter used to say it was like being on holiday.

Post title: Lovely siamese seeks home.

I have a very pretty siamese (and friendly for this breed) that I've been looking after for a friend for a year (she became allergic to cats) who still needs a home. He's about 3 or 4 years old, has been newtered and has had his front claws removed (so the furniture's fine ;.)). I live in the Valencia region of Spain.

A cat-sitter would be "canguro de gatos" or "canguro para gatos", "canguro" being a kangaroo or babysitter

I am glad I am not the only one! Two days away and soil, glass and bloody paw prints everywhere. Never again!

I would put an offer on this site:

A client of mines told me the best about these groups of "nicely wild" (!) retired women who love to travel and would probably be more than interested to cat-sitting for spending a month in Madrid! Although your cats might wanna ask for more...

Why don't you put up a note in your local social gathering place offering to pay?

If you don't like strangers coming over, you take it to their place with all the gear the fluffy little guy needs.

Just a suggestion

I hope you have better luck than I did, or my poor catsitter for that matter. She apologised for letting us down but was unable to sit as she had been sectioned.

Hi

I just wondered if anybody was interested in cat-sitting in Madrid for the month of February. My flat is right in the centre and I have a wifi connection, so it would be very easy to work from here. Just get in touch for more details if interested.

Thanks

Ian
