Charlotte's Revenge

This week, Chris has to contend with a moody cat and a helpful neighbour.

Charlotte is one of my more challenging catsitting clients.

Charlotte likes to give an opinion on the world around her, and she achieves this through imaginative use of her litter tray. If Charlotte is happy, her litter tray is a tidy place. If Charlotte is angry, for a reason such as, um... her owners are away and a catsitter is looking after her, she votes with her paws and won't go anywhere near her litter tray. Instead she re-directs her business onto carpets, sofas, beds, and also the morning mail.

It was the latter of the aforementioned un-ignorable point-raisers that led me to an incident probably never forget. I arrived one morning, opened the front door and picked up the post.
