Mack needs a play buddy. Are you the one?
Introduction
We have recently adopted a beautiful fur baby called Mack who is a 4yo Savannah. Both my husband and I love to travel and will be sitting for other TrustedHousesitter pets while we visit other countries. Sometimes I travel to England for work as I work in the film and TV industry.

We live in the historical Ellon in the heart of the old town by the river. We have a 4 storey townhouse that we are still renovating so the attic floor and basement are closed off currently. The ground and first floor are newly refurbished and include a large kitchen lounge, utility room, bathroom, bedroom and office.

Mack doesn't require any meds but he does need lots of attention as he is an energetic cat. He loves to climb, play football, fetch and jump for his wand toys which he will win from you and bring back to you to play again. Mack loves to play in the morning and evening for about an hour each time or more if possible, leaving you time during the day to explore beautiful Aberdeenshire with castles, distilleries, breweries, beaches, nature reserves and even the Cairngorms in driving distance. Mack will chew holes in bed throws and will steal clothes if given the opportunity. Although he hasn't damaged any clothes with us, in the past, with his previous owner, he did steal and destroy socks. For this reason, Mack needs to be locked out of bedrooms and kitchen when you're out of the apartment. He is able to open wardrobe doors and if a door is not properly clicked shut he'll open those too. Yes, he's a cheeky little rogue but intelligent and adorable. In the evening, when we watch TV (usually YouTube and Netflix), Mack loves to curl up between my husband and me to sleep. Mack has a water fountain which needs topping when you can hear the water dripping. He has an automatic biscuit feeder which delivers his food 3 times a day. When he is being a joy, we reward him with a Catit Creamy. We don't feed him any of our food. As Mack is a hybrid cat, he can not eat grains as they make him sick so all food and treats have been carefully selected. He also has feeder toys which also take the biscuit diet he is on. He occasionally plays with them during the day usually just before the feeder goes off to feed him. There are two litter trays which need cleaning daily (although he tends to only use one of them).

Fleur and Michael were such sweet and generous hosts. Fleur was kind enough to pick me up from the airport (a day early!) and we got to chatting straight away. Both of them did their absolute best to make me feel welcome and appreciated, and told me everything there was to know about Mack, the house, and the area. They were super well-prepared and their welcome guide explained absolutely everything. Communication during the sit was always super prompt, friendly, and clear. Mack was such a fun, smart, and sweet cat. Playing fetch with him was so funny! He got more affectionate and courageous by the day and was very vocal and clear about what he wanted, which was helpful. The ongoing renovations meant some dust, unfinished rooms, and things not in their final place, but the house is spacious and has everything you might need. Great views everywhere, too! Their office was a massive upgrade from my own and the kitchen was also a dream. I got very lucky with the weather and spent a lot of time outside, but Ellon has so many cafés, restaurants, and other fun spots to explore that would suit any weather. Aberdeen is only a short bus or car ride away and so are a lot of other pretty coastal towns. All in all, I loved my sit and would definitely return 😊

Mack is a beautiful, fascinating cat, we very much enjoyed spending time in his company. Fleur was great with comms both before and during the sit. The house is well situated for exploring Ellon and the surrounding area. The river walk behind the house was especially lovely. Ellon is great for cafes and shops. We would recommend this sit to others.

We enjoyed our short sit in Ellon. Fleur and Michael were very friendly and a video call before committing meant we were thoroughly aware that the home is under renovation. We had everything we needed. Mack is an unusual and beautiful cat who loves to play. He was a little cautious and shy at first but was starting to be more visible by the time we left after 2.5 nights. Aberdeenshire has many historical points of interest and this was a perfect base for exploring. Thanks for the opportunity; we recommend this sit to others.

Mack was a dream to look after. One of the friendliest cats I’ve had the joy to stay with and super playful. Fleur gave me really clear and thorough information about the apartment and Mack’s habits, as well as some local tips. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back :)

Mack is a gorgeous and affectionate cat! He likes it when you play with him, throwing toys for him to chase-he will bring them back to you to repeat and repeat! Besides that, Mack will curl up on your lap or near (advantage if you're wearing something thick and soft, he will "make cookies" before relaxing 😌) He is a very good hot water bottle on chilly evenings! Mack is a very smart cat, listens and understands you. Fleur's home is a comfortable flat, with good views to tall trees, tranquil, and a very quiet neighbourhood, so if you are there to relax - spot on!
