Monday 8th Oct PM; I had to pop around later than usual tonight and got spooked as the front porch door was unlocked and when I went into the kitchen there was freshly cut rocket in a bag on the side and post popped on top of the pile I had been making. Charlie wasn't around either so I pulled the curtains too, topped up his food and refreshed his water and did a check on the fish before heading out, ensuring all doors were locked!
Monday 8th Oct AM; Charlie as usual wasn't around, so I went about washing up his bowls and preparing his breakfast. I watered the plants by the sink and in the room off the kitchen and drew back the curtains. Over the course of the last few days, leaves and various bits keep blowing into the kitchen. So I swept up and this morning brought along my mop and bucket and gave the kitchen floor a mopping over. I'm hoping to see Charlie later for our usual cuddle.
Sunday 7th Oct PM; Charlie ran down the stairs to meet me and we had a great cuddle. I walked him into the lounge to pull too the curtains then went to see the fish. Unfortunately one of the yellow and black fish had past away over the course of the day. So I took him out of the tank and gave him a burial at sea while Charlie kept me company. I am so sorry about the fish - I checked all the others but they seemed fine.
Sunday 7th Oct AM; Charlie wasn't in this morning, so I topped up his food as he hadn't eaten very much. I changed his water, adjusted the curtains and gave the fish some flakes as a treat and then said goodbye.
Saturday 6th Oct PM; Charlie was having cat party tonight - as I arrived two of his friends were sat on the drive, white and ginger cats. Charlie greeted me at the door, purring very loudly. After our cuddles and strokes we went into the kitchen and I prepared his dinner and refreshed his water. I gave the floor a sweep over and pulled the curtains together. He sat eating and purring away and I stayed with him stroking him as he ate.
Saturday 6th Oct AM; Charlie was on the stairs when I arrived and he was pleased to see me and purred straight away. We had a cuddle and lots of strokes and he rolled around on his side wanting to be made a fuss of, and I was happy to help! Afterwards, I pulled the curtains across and then washed up his bowls and prepared his breakfast and fresh water. I stroked Charlie as he ate and stayed with him for awhile for company. I said a quick hello to the fish before heading off.
Friday 5th Oct PM; Charlie was in the hallway and we had our longest cuddle to date. He let me pick him up and walk him around, purring non stop. I took him over to the fish and we perched ourselves on the arm of the car and he was intently looking at the fish and baby snails as I stroked him. He helped me draw the curtains (one handed) and then we went to the kitchen to prepare his evening meal. As soon as the bowl was down Charlie's nose was straight in so I let him have some dinner in peace (Charlie was still purring as I left).

As he purred and ate I adjusted the curtains and placed the post on the worktop and sat with him for a short while, before I had to dash off to see another cat.

Wednesday 3rd Oct PM; Charlie and I had a good play around tonight, he was rolling on his back and purring loudly. I rubbed his head against me and weaved around me and my legs as I stroked him. After lots of rolling around, he then went for a scratch on his post, before we headed into the kitchen for me to prepare his evening meal for him. As I popped this bowls down he dived head first into them munching away. Before I headed out I drew the curtains together and said my goodbyes to Charlie and the fishes.
Wednesday 3rd Oct AM; Charlie wasn't around this morning, although I still gave out a call for him. I cleaned out his bowls and washed them up and then refreshed his food and water.

I drew back the curtains and said hello to the fish before heading off.
Tuesday 2nd Oct PM; Charlie ran into the hallway and we had loads of strokes and purring! Charlie rolled around the floor and played with my arm, hugging it and thumping my arm with his legs as he played.

I drew the curtains and checked on the fish, leaving Charlie still merrily eating away.
Tuesday 2nd Oct AM; Charlie wasn't around this morning as I arrived, so I pulled back the curtains and went about preparing his breakfast and fresh water.

I checked on the plants in the room off the kitchen and gave them a drink of water using the water filter jug on the side and gave the plants on the kitchen worktop a drink too. Hopefully I'll see Charlie later.
Monday 1st Oct PM; Charlie greeted me in the hallway with a yawn and a stretch then as I stroked him he turn onto his back and enjoyed a lengthy tummy rub and stretched his legs out in both directions to maximise the effect!

I popped the post onto the side and went about adjusting the curtains and gave the fish a quick check and hello. I stayed with Charlie a little while as he ate, stroking him and he purred away.
Monday 1st Oct AM; Charlie ran through the cat flap and into the hall to say hello this morning. He seemed pleased to see me and I sat on the little sofa in the hallway and played with him. Charlie tapped at my fingers and rolled around on his back then turned quickly around and over - he mouthed my fingers, but not to hurt just playing and he really seemed to be having a great time! After lots of strokes and play I prepared his bowls, washing them and filling them with his food which he tucked into straight away, I refreshed his water and drew back the curtains while Charlie still ate. After staying with him for awhile, I left Charlie washing himself and looking like he was going to settle down for a well earned nap.
Sunday 30th Sept PM; Charlie was a hungry boy as he had eaten all his food and was very pleased to see me. I refreshed his food and water and swept the kitchen where some leaves had come in and Charlie had scattered some of his food around.

He did his usual stretching and yawning then padded into the kitchen to have a nosh on his food. He hadn't eaten any of it from this morning, so instead of topping it up any more, I just refreshed his water and sat with him as he ate and stroked Charlie. He loved this and kept in between mouthfuls rubbing his head against the central part of his cat bowl! I pulled all the curtains together, said hello to the fish and left Charlie still eating.
Friday 28th Sept AM; Charlie was awol this morning as usual, so I drew back the curtains, checked the fish, and washed up his food bowls and refreshed his dried food and water.

Thursday 27th Sept PM; I got to Charlie earlier than normal and he was in the house, heard me and pottered down the stairs. I had Rachel and Leigh (our new team members with me) to meet Charlie and we topped up his food and gave him lots of strokes and some cuddles, but he preferred to be stroked today. I pulled the curtains together and after more strokes and loudl purring from Charlie we headed out leaving him having a good wash in the lounge.

Tueday 25th Sept PM; I picked up the post and noticed that the postman had tried to deliver a parcel, so I called the number to no avail, so left a note with instructions to either leave in the porch or with a neighbour - otherwise the item would be returned to sender. Meanwhile, Charlie popped in for his evening cuddles and he purred very loudly as I stroked him and he let me pick him up. He ran into kitchen and watched as I prepared his dinner.
