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.

Home & location

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.

Responsibilities

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).

Mack was a lovely and very affectionate cat! He was very low maintenance but we loved getting lots of cuddles in the evenings! Fleur is so sweet and communicated well to organise the sit and ensure everything ran smoothly. The flat was super conveniently located and we enjoyed exploring the many castles in the area!

Michael kindly picked me up at the station and explained everything about the house, Mack and his routine. Fleur had also prepared a comprehensive welcome guide. So everything was clear and easy. I had never looked after a Savannah before and it has been a really enjoyable experience. Mack is a very nice, intelligent, active, agile cat. It is most entertaining to watch and play with him. He’s amazing! He brought me the toys and clearly asked me to play with him. He followed me most of the time and he also enjoyed his cuddles. He even plays fetch with the ball! The house is confortable and has everything you need. Fleur and Michael were very helpful and good with communication. I highly recommend this sitting and would come back if I had the opportunity.
