Hi @ElsieDownie This sounds about right in distinguishing dogs from cats. When I have sat for cats, they have these hypnotic stares and vocal meows that always got me to do what they wanted-- such as letting me know they were ready for their meals / treats.

Pretty true😁
Love this… and it’s so true. I’m on a cat sit where there are two properties, they normally let the house we are in during summer, while they live in the smaller one. As it’s only a 6 day sit, they’ve left the feeding station at the small house. The cats however, are a little confused… food in one place, people in the other! So I now have the job of trailing behind lovely Louis who leads me back and forth from sofa in one house to food in the other at his whim (like staff) He’s such a gorgeous old boy though, I of course don’t mind!
Hi @Vanessa_A Can the feeding station from the smaller house be transferred to the other house?
Any photos to share of gorgeous Louis?
@anon49809275 - No they want it left there because it’s a short stay and the cats will pester the summer renters next week if their routine changes again. Better we stick to their routine and we honestly don’t mind going back and forth. The other cat is a stray and afraid of people, so he’d never come for food with us here. The complexities of routines eh? It works though. (As long we we remain cat butlers!! )
Here he is! Looking very severe 
But he’s a cuddler too!
@Vanessa_A Thank you for sharing a photo of Louis–I concur–he is a gorgeous boy!
Hi @Angela_L That is true and funny–a dog is loyal and worries about his pet parent–while a cat worries about who will serve his next meal.
I did only dog sits for the longest time, then I did 2 dogs and 2 cats last Dec. And now have been doing cat sits. Currently on one, since I had a hectic schedule and could not have sat a dog at this time. What a difference. You can feed them, check litter and be gone until dinner time. Right before this, I had a miniature dachshund puppy sit and I was taking it out for 4 walks and also in the backyard constantly, to make sure it didn’t have an accident. But I didn’t have anywhere to go except the grocery store. I am returning in Aug for a short sit with these cats. And I booked another cat sit in Dec in LA. Totally get why people sit cats. I enjoy dogs, I like walking them, but it is so different. It truly is like a vacation with cats.
