Sorry, just venting again. I do love her cats. They're sweet, loveable
boys. But this is bordering on ridiculous.

When you contribute the food and litter she "overlooked", does she
reimburse you for the cost?



So far I haven't had to do that but it looks like on this trip I may have
to. And yes, she'll reimburse me. It just shouldn't be necessary for me
to
stock up for her when she knew she was going out of town.

And isn't it a schlep for you to go into town? If you weren't planning to,
that's a hassle for you that you shouldn't have to put up with. I mean,
it happens sometimes, and I'm sure you'd be willing to do it for someone
who is usually reliable and just got it wrong once. But with this woman,
it's a pattern. I guess it's too late to nip it in the bud, but you
shouldn't
have to keep dealing with her flakiness.

She is kind of flaky, isn't she? She also doesn't seem to know how to
communicate properly to other people who are taking care of things for
her while she travels, so everyone knows what they are and are not doing.
I remember that time when the woman who was watering the plants thought
she should also feed the cats.

Yes, it's a pattern. The problem is she knows I don't really have an excuse
to say "no". She knows I don't travel. I'm always home. So... convenient.

Yes, it's a bit of a drive to town to the vet to get the cat food. I like
to plan ahead and make one trip with a shopping list. I don't like the idea
of having to make a special trip just for her cat food. But I won't let him
go without it. It's prescription food, kidney like Persia has been eating.

Yes, if I buy a bag of food she'll reimburse me. I'll just leave her the
receipt with the bag and a note. But my goodness, I don't understand why
she can't plan ahead. I'm starting to think she might be getting a little
dotty.
