Cute tortie! You do a lot of cat sitting!

I have in the past few months!! Since June I've looked after 4 different cats - 5 days of void cat, 1 month of the minor chonk standard issue cat, 1 week of sox, and now 1 month of cuddly calico

You’ve got all the benefits of cats and freedom to be cat-free when you want :-)

It's pretty cool and although moving around is a bit of a pain, I look at it as a staycation - sure I'm still paying rent on my place but at least I'm saving on heating. And this time my friend has carefully prepared some delicious food for me and tidied up the place. Also I can potter around in their garden!

I found a job I think I want to apply for... but change is hard and I was very comfortable where I've been for 3.5y until recently

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

By the combination of our shitposting, YOU are now the very comfortable professional catsitter!

I can only degrade the quality of everyone's experience so much on my own

That place is a cesspit now. All the good people came here.

Smoked Kippers from Brunswick brand at woolworths are on sale for 2 dollars this week.

Quality will always triumph over quantity. Can the reddit DT boast a poet, a professional cat sitter and a variety of canned fish enthusiasts? No, they content themselves with merest gossip. I discard them. Also the good cooks all came here.

So why doesn't the 2nd season of the next generation start with more about the Romulans is the question I asked myself earlier.
