Petsitting a cat that hasn’t eaten in days, owner just sent a response
EDIT: for anyone saying the cat has most likely escaped, you are probably correct. I’ve come back to the house, inside the food bowls surrounded by flour were completely untouched, the water bowls were full. I was at her house this morning looking for the cat everywhere and before I left, I put a food bowl infront of the porch. I’ve just come back and the bowl on the porch is completely empty, now there is a chance another outdoor cat could’ve eaten it, there’s a few of them in my area. But I’ve forgot to mention the day I’ve started petsitting for the cat which was on Friday the 26th, my friend and her family left at around 10am, I’ve mentioned a few times that her and her family left every room open for the cat to roam in, one of those rooms was her brothers on the second floor where he left a window wide open with a bug net/framed window screen. My friend told me that before she left she gave the cat fresh food, water and litter so there’s no need to come that day and I could come on Saturday, but I wanted to make sure everything was okay so I came anyways around 5pm. So there was a 7 hour time period when nobody was at home, and the window was wide open. When I arrived I checked the rooms to see if it wasn’t just wandering around and spotted the window and closed it immediately, tried calling for it but after about half an hour I left. Today I came over this morning and flipped the place upside down looking for the cat, I must’ve spent over 2 hours at her house today looking and playing kitten noises, before leaving I left a food bowl full of dry kibble and wet cat food on the porch, I’ve just come back to see the bowl completely empty, and I went to check the food inside, I also went to her brothers room to check out the window screen and the right bottom corner was completely loose, I managed to stick my entire forearm through with more then enough space left. Right now I’m sitting on her porch trying to be as silent as possible, I’ve left fresh food and water but I can’t afford a camera and don’t know anyone who would borrow me one so I’m not sure what to do now. I’ve asked my friend many times if it’s possible the cat slipped out because I was seriously doubting the cat was even inside, she was persistent on it being inside. I’m furious, if anyone has any advice please let me know, I have spent hours everyday looking for this cat and literally going crazy. Thank you so much for reading this, the advice was amazing and helped me tremendously
Hello, I am a minor seeking advice. I am petsitting for a cat in the Czech Republic, I do not have the contact information for the cats veterinarian despite asking for it numerous times. In these screenshots the messages I am sending are to my friend, the cat is staying at her house because she had been petsitting the cat a week prior to me and left it at her house.
This is a minor update to my last post I made a few hours ago, If anyone is familiar with it and saw it here are just screenshots and a translation of the owners response, and my friends response
(I was not informed on the cats age, medical history, if it’s spayed, or gender) and I cannot afford vet bills. If you have not are reading this and have not seen my first post that goes deeper into context of my sticky situation, I’m furious because I feel like my friend is not taking this seriously whatsoever and is hardly responding to my messages whereas I’m trying to be persistent and straightforward about the ongoing situation and how I think it’s dangerous for the cat I’m petsitting.
please read it and let me know your opinions on the response and how I should handle the situation with the owner and my friend. Thank you so much.
