Cat sitting for DDs friend

[Twix42]

Daughter's friend wants us to look after their cat in our house whilst they go on holiday for a week. They'll provide food etc everything we could need etc. If it was a plant ,I'd water it no problem etc.

But we are a no pet family we've never had any kind of pet ever in our lives. No allergies etc.

I say no , it's a house cat and what if it escapes etc? I'd be so worried it got out!

For DD aged 12 this is an absolute dream come true. 🐈 😻

DD thinks I'm unreasonable.

Thoughts?

This is why catteries exist.

Also you won't be able to leave windows open or it may jump out. Mine did when he was settling in - 2nd storey, broke a tooth.

I would not be prepared to keep all windows closed at all times for a week but our house is a hot one.

This is exactly what happened when my mother looked after a house cat for someone she knew. The cat went into the very small box room that nobody used and wouldn’t come out. It had all its food in there. It didn’t use the litter tray so it peed and pooed all over the carpet. Presumably the cat was very stressed. Why don’t people think before they get pets?
We are a pet free home. I have only been asked once to feed someone’s cat. I just told them that I didn’t ‘do’ animals.
