Responsibilities

Your main responsibility will be to take care of Lupin. Food and water: he eats dry and wet food. He has always some dry food at his disposal and he eats wet food (mainly tuna) twice a day, in small portions around 8am and 8pm. He drinks filtered water in a bowl, water needs to be changed every day. Cleaning: a litter is available to him in the toilet, please check it once a day. He rarely goes there because he's used to go outside in the garden for his needs. If he stays long hours without access to the garden, then he'll use the litter, in that case it is important to remove the clumps or poop as soon as possible. The litter is biodegradable so you can dispose of it directly in the toilet, I'll leave some reserve to be added in case it's needed. Playtime: usually when I'm back from work around 6-7pm he expects me to make the tour of the garden around the building with him, you can try and do the same. He's usually playful when we go for this walk, he might try to play hide and seek with you :) or try to catch you. Cuddles: he loves spending time on people's lap, just make sure you don't pet him too much, otherwise he won't stay long. But if you just let him stay, he'll find a comfortable position and might fall deeply asleep. He loves to be combed, he has a comb of his own at your disposal. Communication: Lupin usually understands by the tone of your voice if you don't wish him to do something and he'll stop, voice warnings are enough for him to stop scratching a piece of furniture for example. He has many scratchers at his disposal in any case and he makes sure he uses them all! He's sensitive to sudden noises and movements, so please make sure not to yell or move too fast around him, as he might get scared. If this happens, he's usually quickly reassured by some cuddles. Though he is a very sweet cat, he is afraid of children, so I wouldn't recommend this sitting to people with small children, as his reaction to them trying to approach him might be unpredictable. Plants will need to be watered, some of them, like basil, mint, might need water every other day, the rest of the plants will only need once or twice a week.
