Fun music. I’m 69 yo and I enjoy this music!! Maybe you could do a future video to a Beatles song. 😂😂
Definitely!
Loki enjoyed making this video because he got SO MANY treats! 🐱 ❤️
This looks like fun!! 😂 Cute video. ❤❤❤
Thanks for watching! 😊
I’ve seen cats do this. So cute. ❤
Yes! My kitten loves laying on my warm laundry, and sometimes will try and climb in the drier (WHEN ITS OFF, NOT SPINNING 😭) to lay in the warm clothes ❤ (first, pin?📌)
Cute!! Just be careful lol
He never misses the mark 🙄
Purrrfect timing! I’m getting my first cat next week :) thanks!
Awwww I'm so excited for you!! Congrats 💕
Great info! Thank you so much for sharing!
You are so welcome! 🩵
The biggest thing regarding litter or litter boxes is not to buy a plastic litter box. I have bought various types of litter and that doesn't really matter. Since I switched to all steel litter boxes I rarely have any odor.
That is amazing!! 👏 I can't wait to get one myself
Great vid! I have a rescue cat and shortly after I got her she started pooping on the furniture and I had no idea why, I tried so many things for like 2 weeks to figure out why she was unhappy. I finally realized that the issue was that she hated the litter I'd gotten her and she only wanted the same litter she'd had at the shelter. This vid would have really helped me back then because for some reason changing the litter out was the last thing I considered during the poop war lol
Lol, oh my goodness. I'm so glad you figured it out! Thank you for taking the time to investigate what your cat really needed. Did you call the shelter to ask what type of litter it was? Cats can be very particular lol. Thank you for sharing!
yep, I talked to the shelter and we figured it out. The litter I was using was a rough one that a friend recommended, but the shelter had been using much finer litter
What is your favorite type of cat litter?? Please share 😊
“if you’ve done nothing wrong why r u getting so offended”
Exactly
His paws are probably cleaner than most people’s phones!
I’m sure!
Loki and is big blue eyes! 🥹 Precious!
Our cats think they own the house so yes they get on countertops. You appear to be a vegetarian. Our little boy cat loves meat. Hey has learned from the dog the trigger of humans in the kitchen and how to beg for treats.
I’m lucky that my cat is not very food motivated, he doesn’t really care about what I am cooking lol. This has helped a lot!
I’ve often wondered about this. Cats are actually quite clean.
They are :)
Note: I do sanitize my countertops at least once a day and always before cooking! 😝
That is so cute. He really blends into your decore. 😂
He is a master of camouflage! 😂
Sneaky little boy 🥰
Loki loves cuddle time 🥰
🎉🎉🎉 thankyou and happy meow year
Thank you! Happy Meow Year to you too! ❤️ 🐱
Cutie!!!
lol she’s so pretty* or he❤️🩷
Thank you! He, his name is Loki 🩵
Sometimes I wish I were a cat 🩵
@@elenamariethoms Ty! Loki is so cute!🐾
He purrred for an hour straight after I got home 🥰
Great tips and video!
Thank you for watching!
Here's more info on PRICES: I'll use the Rover app as an example because it's the most popular. Cat sitting rates on Rover can vary depending on the sitter, the number of cats, and the type of service. Generally, this is what I've found: Per visit: Sitters charge $15-$30 per visit for a 30-minute service Per night: Sitters charge $25 per night for a 24-hour service Additional cats: Sitters charge an extra $5 for each additional cat In a larger city prices may be a little higher. You can ask your sitter to visit once a day or multiple times a day. Rover will charge based on the number of individual visits. You can book someone for just one visit, or you can book someone for multiple weeks on end, depending on your need. Each visit is expected to be a minimum of 30 minutes. You can ask them to visit for longer times for an additional cost. A lot of this can be worked out while you are choosing a sitter. You can message them your needs and then select the person who sounds like the best fit for you. Next, you schedule a meet & greet at your home to go over details and exchange info/keys/etc. A boarding facility will charge about $22 per day for one cat ($38 for two). This is in a smaller city though! I live in Olympia, WA. I'm sure it's more expensive for dogs or in a state like CA. Also, do a quick Google search for pet sitting services in your area, and check out their prices. Supporting local small businesses is a great way to support your community and keep your money within your own community rather than giving it to a massive corporation like Rover. If you have a friend or family member you trust who can cat sit for you that will probably be the most cost effective option. Personally, I still like to pay people for their time so I just choose a rate a little lower than what I see on Rover in my area. Hope this helps! ❤🐱
I'm on my home from vacation and cannot wait to sniff my cats!! My big boy smells like Fritos. Our princess smells like dryer sheets. Our little boy smells like fresh air. And our floof girl smells like hmm floof. Oh and you have to smell a fuzzy rabbit. It's almost better than cats!
I love that you have so many different cat smells! 😻
Question, what about prices. I'm sure every state is different but would luv to know the cost of cat sitting per day? Or is payment per week? Or the whole vacation. Price range? How many times a day? How much time is the sitter expected to spend with the cat per each visit? Thank u in advance ❤

@elenamariethoms this beyond helps!!!! Thank u soooo much. We just got our kitten yesterday. It's been 24hrs with him. We are in love 😍 . The only concern now is he hasn't eaten. He's drank water and maybe he used his litter box 1x. We can't tell he's so small. But he's still playful and energetic. Wish us luck 🤞.
I might also want to share with the sitter some of my cat’s personality traits if they don’t already know my pet.
Yes, definitely!
What is your advice for preparing for a cat sitter? 🩵
I got lucky, or unlucky depending on veiw point. But when I brought my boy in from outside, he had really bad pillow foot and his paws were constantly bleeding. I had to force him to let me put the ointment on his paws but eventually he realized my "touch" healed him. So now he just offers his paws when I'm ready to clip clip
Awww I'm so glad he healed up! ❤️🩹
I cant see what youre clipping 😢
Sorry, I had a hard time holding him still to get close-ups. I included that diagram of a cat claw to show where to make the actual cut. You just want to take off the very tip with the sharp point 🙂

Loki?? Like from The avengers???
Yep! Well it's a god from Norse mythology which obviously came before the comic/movies
