House/cat sitting

So here is the run down. I have never been left in charge of anyone's cats or house. Still, when I was talking to my roommate about how much I love money and have so little these days she offered up her cat/ house sitting gig. So with all these new responsibilities and access to wii and a GINORMOUS Flat screen TV, I have moved in.

I am staying in a pretty big house. Huge actually if you compare it to my cozy 3 bedroom apartment in cambridge. This house is a three bedrooms house, with two kitchens a multitude of bathrooms and a big backyard with vegetable garden. It's almost like being on vaca.

The two cats I am cat sitting for are vastly different. (I will give them code names to protect there identity.)
The first cat who I will call Biggie Smalls reminds me of the deceased rapper. He may have a bit of a weight problem or if he doesn't, then he is big-boned. Biggie is super friendly and greeted my sig (signifigant other) and I at the door upon arrival.
According to the note I was left, Biggie is a tabby I think. In the note it said he is total lap cat, loves to have his treats thrown down a hallway to chase. And may attempt to sleep with me tonight.

The second cat...(this name is harder to pick)...I think I will call her Chichi. Chichi is a long haired cat. thus far she is very timid. So timid that I may not see her much. This could be a problem since I must be present when she eats. Apparently, Biggie will eat all her food, plus his, if meal times are not monitored.

Chichi was a stray and has had some medical conditions including loosing all her teeth so I am assuming when she dose come out of hiding eating her food may be a slow process.

Thats all for now I guess. till tomorrow... or later tonight.

YESSSSS......you've inspired me to one day blog. In the meantime I will be checking back frequently for updates on chichi the toothless cat. Be careful, he might gum you to death in your sleep while biggie turns a blind eye....
