From the outset I was very confident that Mary & Ian were ideal sitters to cope with the nuances of my furry family of 3 ! As . We had chatted several times on Whatssap, and both had had cats as pets over many years, and a wealth of life experience living with cats!! As soon as they arrived Mary & Ian set about familiarising themselves with the apartment layout and then observing the foibles of Mau, Kitty& Toots., including the litter tray routine ( lol)….Marrying my outline Guide to the “real deal”, and I believe they, like my cats themselves , were not at all daunted at the prospect of being surrogate trusted “fur parents” for a week . All 3 furs vied for attention, and Kitty, although quite nervy,, took to sitting on Mary’s lap at every available opportunity …with Mau & Toots competing for attention… and their daily groomings too!!!, when they returned from their daily sojourn , exploring the area., they had the energy to care for and be entertained by the furs! Mary’s excellent forward planning ensured that they gave time to the furs on a morning before setting off…and again on an evening , Ensuring that the cats’ routine, especially feeding times ,was not disrupted and as all parties enjoyed waking fairly early?.? (lol) Mary & Ian had time to explore and enjoy visiting several highly recommended tourist attractions, they had researched. Ian was a gem and offered to sort out finishing laying down approx 400 kilos of Wood chip and off cuts based “soil” along the side of my drive, AND remove Garden garbage to the recycle area , down the road. So the outside was very tidy & orderly, on my return . Mary watered my pot plants on the calçada , AND Enjoyed fresh lemons & picking physalis berries( Chinese gooseberries) . All my flowering plants , young tomatoes , beetroot n onions were thriving on my return. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Kitty , Mau & Toots, my garden and my home. Everywhere was clean and tidy and in good order when I returned. The cats simply adored Mary , and the regular photo updates sent to me by Mary endorsed the fact that I had not been missed!! It was truly lovely to have you stay and look after M,K,T and get to know you a little. The “5 Star” rating for every aspect of their stay reflects Mary & Ian’s commitment to be genuine “zeewoi”, and importantly ensure that Mau, Kitty & Toots…. Were safe and cared for , during my absence…….. they simply Never missed me!! We all really enjoyed your company …Thank you sooooo very much. If you are ever blown off course in your world wide adventures and land in Portugal again….please look us up!,,,…you’ll always be Welcome.
