How to care for our (indoor) cats
They like to eat twice a day.
- Morning -- each cat gets 1/4 cup dry food. Dry food is in the closet on the lower shelf. We'll leave a 1/3 cup scoop out.
- Evening -- each cat gets 1/4 can of wet food. Wet food is in the kitchen in the ice box, lower left corner. Javier knows where.
- Any other time -- treats are always welcome. They are near the wet food in the ice box, they are dried salmon.
There are a two bowls near the kitchen on the floor that we try to keep full. Filling it when you feed them is fine. Even if there is still water left in them, give them some fresh water because they do stuff like wash their paws in them 😝
There are two litter boxes, one in the bathroom and one in the living room. We clean them once a day, usually in the morning. There are poop bags in the kitchen in the lower left drawer next to the sink, they're blue. The scoop is in the bathroom. Scoop the poop and pee, then take it out to the dumpster. The dumpster is down the hall to the left, up the stairs and out the back door on the left. If the litter gets low, we'll leave it in the entryway. The cats do tend to make a mess around the litter boxes, so there's a small dustbin/broom in the bathroom to sweep up the litter.
Javier is very interested in the toilet. We don't leave the toilet seat up to prevent him from drinking toilet water.
Penelope might initially hide under the couch, try to ply her with a few treats. Javier is fairly mischevious, especially in the kitchen. If you need a break, feel free to set him on his cat shelf.
