Cat sitter in Gorebridge

Hello, my name is Karen, I live in Gorebridge, just a few miles from Edinburgh. I am currently employed by Edinburgh City Council, I support adults with a learning disability, I support them to live the life they choose in the community.

My love of cats begun when I was small, we always had a cat, I never gave the cats peace, always cuddling and pampering them. When I left home I adopted my sisters cat while she and her husband traveled the world. On their return, the cat was with me! After 13 long wonderful years with him we lost him to kidney disease. Life At home wasn't the same being 'cat free' so we had a trip to Lothian Cat Rescue, it didn't take long for the cats to choose us, we were new parents to two beautiful tabby cats. 14 years have passed, we recently had to have one put to sleep, leaving one little old lady in our care.

I am confident in giving medication to cats, I have medicated my own cats for many years, both tablet and liquid form.

When it comes to cats, there are an endless number of reasons to love them, here are my favourites!

They purr. They are soft. They are better alarms than any snooze button or clock will ever be. They give you someone to talk to. Sometimes they even listen. They talk back. Their tails move to the beat of the music. They can eat the same thing every day and not complain. They look really cute in clothes. Wet noses. Fluffy tails. Head bonks. You can talk like a baby and not feel silly. You don’t have to take them outside to do their business. They never hog the remote. They won’t yell at you. They are good listeners. They know when you need a little extra cuddle. They make great pillows. They can stay home alone all day and the house will be fine. Two words: Whisker kisses. They don’t need expensive toys. They love you unconditionally. They smells like kitty, which smells so good. There is nothing like being woken up by sandpaper kitty kisses on your nose. The vibrating foot-warmer feature is awesome. They’re independent. Cat toys are fun to buy. Two more words: paw pads.

Says it all (:
