Responsibilities

Cats need to be fed at least twice a day. Three time if they turn their nose up at offered food. Water fountain needs to ocassionally be refilled. Refill the fountain by taking off the clear back by lifting upward. Turn it over and uncrew the bottom, fill with tap water, screw the bottom on again. Take it back to the water fountain and replace it. Dry food. If the container is empty or near empty, turn it over and slide the tray off. The dry food to fill the container is in the mudd room under the hanging coats, in a plastic container. Open the bag, fill the container and throw away the bag. Slide the tray back on and turn the container right side up and it's good to go. We have a pet door so that the cats can come and go at will. They will complain loudly if they want to go out and can't. Please, do not make them prisoners in the house. They have many hiding places around the house that they can access if endangered. They will respond to being called during feeding times - morning and evening. They have their favorite places where you can ususally locate them. Gotham's favorite places are sleeping on the chairs on the front porch, back deck and on the studio porch. If you cannot find him there, he likes to hang out and sleep under the bed in the guest room...He crawls into lining of the box spring and sleeps there. He will not come when called if he is there. Depending upon the season, the plants on the front porch, back porch, and up the path to the studio need to be watered daily. Water hoses are strategically placed for convenience for this task. Humming bird feeders and seed bird feeders are located on the front porch, back porch, and studio porch areas They need to be replenished as they empty. This can be as often as everyday. I will be sure to have plenty of hummingbird food already made and in the frige. The food for the front porch feeder is in the office on the floor next to the file cabinets. Food for the feeders in the studio. Enter the side door of the studio and the food is located on a shelf to the left. Plant wathering and humming bird feeder replensihing does not apply to the winter months. There are two dehumidifiers in the basement that will need to be emptied daily or every other day or just whenever it gets full. You will know they are full because it will stop running. Please, bring the mail in daily. And any packages that are on the porch, too. Thank you.
