Funny Cat-Sitting Fails

It’s no surprise that cats aren’t the easiest creatures to take care of. Even experienced cat owners can face a few challenges when they leave their cat with a pet-sitter or bring them along on vacation. Here are some of the most common (and hilarious) cat-sitting fails people have experienced.

Have you ever heard of a cat-sitting fail? This is when the pet sitter doesn’t take the proper precautions and time with your furry friend, and it can lead to some pretty disastrous results. For example, cats have been known to escape from their sitters’ homes or apartments -sometimes even making it back home on their own! Even more common is cats hiding in furniture and behind curtains which can give pet-sitters quite a fright when they come home. Another problem that pet-sitters may not anticipate is overly enthusiastic cats due to too much love, or cats that are forgotten at meal time resulting in an angry kitty. Not to mention, cats have an affinity for rearranging furniture while no one is looking! As hilarious as these scenarios might be, it’s important to find someone reliable and trustworthy when leaving your beloved pets with a pet-sitter.

Cats in Disguise:

The classic “hide and seek” game is an age-old favorite among cats, but it can be downright terrifying when you come home to find that your cat has managed to disappear! Cats have been known to hide in furniture, behind curtains, and even up in the attic while their unsuspecting pet-sitters are left scratching their heads wondering where the cat has gone.

The Escape Artist:

Every now and then a truly daring feline will make a daring escape from its sitter’s apartment or house—sometimes making it all the way back home! Of course, this requires quite a bit of street smarts, so if you find yourself with a particularly adventurous cat, make sure your pet-sitter knows how to keep your kitty safe and sound.

Catnip Chaos:

One thing many pet owners may not realize is that cats love snuggling up for some nice quality time with their favorite humans—but sometimes too much love can lead to chaos! If a pet-sitter isn’t careful enough with his or her cuddles, they may wind up dealing with an overly enthusiastic kitty that just won’t stop playing!

Forgotten Food:

Cats deserve quality meals every day—but unfortunately, some pet-sitters get distracted and forget to feed them at mealtimes. This usually results in one very angry (and very hungry) kitty who quickly finds ways of reminding their sitters about mealtime!

Furniture Rearranging:

Who needs interior design when you have cats? It turns out cats really do enjoy getting creative with indoor decorating—unfortunately for their pet-sitters! Not only do these furry creatures love pushing furniture around and making themselves comfortable (sometimes without being asked), but they may even attempt to create new shelves by stacking books or magazines together—which isn’t always appreciated by their sitters afterwards.

Although these funny stories might make us giggle, there’s nothing more important than finding someone reliable and trustworthy who’s willing and able to keep our beloved pets safe while we’re away. So if you’re seeking out a dependable person who loves animals and won’t let any of these funny fails happen on their watch, you’ll likely be able to find someone perfect for the job!
