While I grew up with dogs, my adult life has been dedicated to cat loving. Lesbians are historically notorious for their undying love for cats, and I am guilty as charged. Through my time in the lesbian community, I have had the pleasure of welcoming countless cats into my life via friends, relationships, and housemates. Since 2017, I have lived with 9 cats for various periods of time. I have the unique perspective of living with these cats, but not being their primary owner. Though they are technically not my children, I treat them as if they are. I am gentle with them, respect their boundaries, and give them as many (or as little) cuddles as they desire. Their owners know they can trust me, so they always rely on me to take care of their babies whenever they go out of town. I am always cognizant of following sitter instructions to a T - including exact meal times, prioritizing their favorite toys, and keeping the space and litter box neat and tidy. I recognize change can be very stressful for a little kitty, so it’s important to me to keep their lives as normal as possible while their parent is away.
