Notes from Ferdy - Cats at Home of Bournemouth
Bruce got an EMAIL today from an outfit called Cats at Home. Cats at Home is a start-up small business operating out of Bournemouth in the UK. Apparently, they are not very sophisticated about setting up on the Internet, because even though I run one of the most important cat-related web sites on the web, they decided instead that "a good fit" would be sharing links with our defunct Dice Battles site.
Cats at Home is run by Lucie Bright, who lives with 11 cats. I suspect that with so many superior life forms giving her advice it's difficult to know exactly what to do. Bruce lives with three cats, but he doesn't have that problem because the other two cats understand that I'm in charge, even if sometimes I have to be in charge from my hiding place between the two book cases behind the rocking chair.
Cats at Home is a pet-oriented house-sitting service. While you're gone, the Cats at Home people come into your house twice a day to feed your cats and perform any other cat-related maintenance. They'll also water your plants, which is critical if your cats want a change-of-pace vegetarian meal.
The idea here is extremely sound, because cats do not like spending time away from their homes. Humans seem perfectly fine with the idea of delegating responsibility, but cats prefer a hands-on management style that is simply not practical when you're locked in a cage 50 miles away.
So if you're owned by a cat and you live in the Poole Bay area, consider calling Cats at Home the next time you are going out of town. While you're at it, you can explain to them who I am and why I'm a lot more important than Bruce's other web sites.
Respectfully submitted,
Ferdinand T. Cat
