The host sounds overly nit-icky to me…Kitty’s can survive for awhile without a sitter being there every hour of the day…It’s so weird that she nailed you for leaving early even though she told you it was ok. I’d be bummed out too, if I were you.

I think it means we should all pay attention to our gut feelings, even though that can be hard to do, when you’ll be ‘sitting’ somewhere that you’ve traveled to, and are getting the weird ‘super picky and paranoid vibe’ when you meet them face to face, just before the ‘sit’ starts. Sometimes I think the poor animals are probably excited by, and are so welcoming to their new care givers, because they can enjoy the relaxed vibe, plus have fun and revel in the lack of stress, schedules, and pickiness that their full time parents may be over-zealously consumed with. Some of the ‘3 STRICT feeding times a day’ schedules that I’ve seen for ‘sit requirements’, make me wonder who’s wearing the pants in that household? Haha! Here kitty kitty! 🙂 I still love THS and this forum though! - Cheers!
