Cat sitting - any advice?

[Flyinggeese]

Hi, my friend is due to have a minor operation later this week and I have have volunteered to look after her young (5 months ish I think - hasn't been outdoors yet) cat.

Having never had a cat myself can I ask for any tips? It will only be for three days. Is teh cat likely to be spooked by the new environment? What should we do to make him feel settled? I'm wondering if we need to do any 'kitten proofing' e.g. Tying up electrical cables for almost etc. sorry if this sounds daft.

I will of course ask my friend regards feeding / litter etc.

I will be out of the house for half a day on Friday so what would you advise in terms of the kitten's run of the house? Best to make a couple of rooms only available? What about night time?

Thanks in advance for any advice. I am my friend's only option and I wan to do a good job of this!

Yes, shut him in the room with all his stuff last night, he was absolutely fine. He's white and black, short hair, pretty face! Will take a pic.

You are very good at this cat sitting lark geese .

What colour / breed / coat length / sex / age are you considering getting OP? Breed or rescue? :)

Yes the tunnel is great. Mine happily stays in the kitchen on a night. Is he using his tray ok?

He's gone home. I really appreciate all of the advice on here. Thanks everyone.

Is the house too quiet now?

Ha! Yes and there's a little cat bum shaped dip in the top of the sofa. He was cute. Would definitely cat/kitten-sit again.

You may be pleasantly surprised. This little 16 week old fluffkin had been in my house half an hour when this was taken. He'd never even met me until he came to stay.

He's gorgeous! How long did you kitten-sit for? Did he pad and chew at the fluffy throw?

Flying. I had him for two weeks. He was absolutely gorgeous and yes, he loved the furry throw. Here he is relaxing on it.

This is the little fella I looked after. Similar situation with a throw!
