Max.

I am pet-sitting a friend's cat while they are away over Christmas.  Max is a stunningly beautiful, white cat, who is dearly loved by his young owner.  I pop in daily to feed him clean the litter boxes and play with him.

When I arrive, Max welcomes me by stretching out in a clear plea for a belly-rub.


Daily, he attempts to trip me as I go down stairs.  I think it's because he doesn't want me to leave.  Or perhaps  he's taken out a life insurance policy on me ?


But Max's favourite thing is jumping for his dangling toy, and I am happy to indulge him with some quality play time.

  1. Oh sweet. Max is beautiful. Purely white cats aren't that common. I wish you lived around the corner from me so Poppy could enjoy your cat sitting love.

  2. I didn't mention that at the same time I'm cat-sitting for another set of friends who have FIVE cats ! Maybe I should start a business.

    1. Thanks. I had lots of chances for these shots as Max was happy to oblige over-and-over ...

  4. Great pics of a really gorgeous white cat. Be careful on those stairs. My cats are sometimes under foot and I need to be careful how I step. They like twirling around my legs- it is almost like a game for them.

    1. Happily my cats don't do this to me and my stairs are carpeted ... Step carefully.

  5. I get nervous when I walk down stairs and an animal runs under my feet like that. I hope you hold onto the banister.

    I read your comment to Linda that you're looking after 5 cats for other friends. You don't have to think of starting a business - you have already!

  6. Oh I love Max! And what lovely pictures Sybs. I hope Max's Mummy and Daddy are coming home before the snow comes, or they won't be able to find him.

    Do you think if I put my cats through the whites programme they would come out looking like Max! Love, Vicky xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    1. His young owner his home with him now.

      I don't think your cats would appreciate being put through the "whites programme" ...

  7. Max is adorable! I shudder to even think he's taken out an insurance policy on you. To think that a cat would do that! And a cute looking one, too.

    1. How the heck they'd manage to dial the insurance company to take out the policy without opposable thumbs I cannot imagine...
