Cat Sitting From Martha

Keeping Your Kitty Purrrfectly Happy

Martha loves caring for cats. She knows that cats need personal attention, beyond just scooping litter and refreshing the water bowl. When you are away, Martha is there to make sure your cat feels loved and safe.

Cats are much more attention-needy than most people think, and providing the right levels of attention is vitally important for their well-being. They can quickly become bored and depressed if they feel ignored.

If attention is lacking, some cats can develop ‘negative attention syndrome’ where they misbehave just to get someone to notice them. If the only time anyone talks to their cat are when they scratch the sofa or stroll down the kitchen counter, then you can guess that they will perform these feats when the owner is near, but not acknowledging them! (In this respect cats and small children do have a lot in common!)

When you can’t be there, Martha takes the time to play with your cat. Martha knows your cat had no choice but to spend many long hours in a quiet house without any stimulation. By talking to them and playing with them, Martha makes sure your cat is happy and healthy.
