While I, growing up, never had cats of my own, I often took care of neighbour's and friend's cats. I first had cats of my own when I got into University and have since never stopped adoring them. Sophie – who's had a cat for all her life – and I have done many, many catsits at great places like Paris and Lake Como. Still, the animals were always the highlights and we really enjoy spending time with them, from street cat to Bengal. We've also often had to give medicine – pills, granulate or even with a syringe. This should be no problem for us at all. Sadly, neither of us was ever able to have a dog. Still, through weekly dogwalks at the shelter, my sister's or friend's dogs or dogsits, we've gotten plenty of experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds.
