What an opportunity for adventure! Related: I heartily recommend the book My Beloved Monster by Caleb Carr for anyone that loves and feels a kinship with cats!

Oh! This is the dream. I love cats a lot and would love to get paid to take care of other people's fur babies.

Maybe next year I can try this! It is so cool that there are so many opportunities for unconventional ways of living.

Yes! I highly recommend giving it a go. Cat-sitting has truly improved my quality of life. The best way I can give my thanks is by being the best Cat Mama I can be to all the cats! 😻💃🏾🌺

That sounds like a dream job. If I didn't already have 10 (!) precious kitties of my own, I'd do it in a heartbeat 💗

Something to keep in mind for the future. Thanks SO MUCH for sharing your story, and this amazing resource!

Oh my gawd, 10?! That's so cute. 😻 Well, if you ever need to travel and you have a nice pad to offer up, you can still use the website to host a traveler who can take care of your babies while you're gone. 🥰 Thank you for reading!

My husband and I both adore cats! We didn't intend to have that many, but a couple years ago he found abandoned bottle babies at his job site and brought them home in a bucket. We tried to re-home them, since we had 5 cats between us when we got married, but the people who contacted us about them were very sketch. Also, it's impossible not to fall in love with bottle baby kittens 😍 So they stayed. ♥️

Thank you! 😸 May the kitties you're sitting for give you lots of purrs and snuggles

Hi N3VLYNNN, Generous and life-affirming advice and food for thought again! This and your piece on sensuality made me realise I'm thinking of you as a kind of Renaissance Witch lately .... (using the word 'witch' as a symbol of authentic female power of course just in case there was any doubt😉)
