Jennifer's 20 point checklist for your peace of mind

You have probably never given much thought to just how much time and effort you put into your cat's good health and happiness. I have!

When you are gone, many things have to be done on a daily basis to make certain your cats are safe, secure, comfortable and happy. I go through a 20 point checklist every time I visit with your cats.

This list includes:

• Releasing your security system
• Bringing in the newspapers
• Bringing in the mail
• Giving each cat clean, fresh water
• Giving each cat the proper amount of food
• Making sure your cats are eating
• Restoring the supplies in the proper place
• Giving treats (if allowed)
• Cleaning up any accidents that may occur
• Watering plants
• Having playtime with each cat
• Cleaning the litter box
• Forwarding messages, if requested
• Checking doors and windows
• Changing the light arrangement
• Making sure cats are in their proper places
• Making notes for owners
• Administering medication, if needed
• Re-locking the house
• Restoring the security system

You do most of these things automatically when you are home. Isn't it comforting to know that someone is going to go through a checklist each day and do them for you while you're away?
