Pet-sitting | 2 Cats

I have two indoor cats, once they get to know you they are friendly, a little stand offish till that time. Lilly and Mac, are litter mates I rescued. Being indoor cats they have a litter box which I scoop twice a day, morning and evening. This keeps any odor away and makes for happier cats. I lock them in the attic at night, this has been our routine since kittens. It saves on night roaming and more restful for all. I feed dry, one small cup in each brown bowel morning and night. If there is food left I just add a little. Sometimes I give small teaspoon of wet at night when they go to bed. They of course will have their flea medication and worming before I depart.

Laroque de Fa is in the High Corbieres, very much like Big Sur, CA without the Redwood. You will need a car. Lots of hiking and historical places like Peyrepertuse, Quuèibus, and lovely little villages dot the area, lots of eye candy I would say to take you on a journey through your imagination. In the winter things a quieter, my village has a marché every other friday, where you can buy local organic produce, beer, wine, bread, and cheese, vegan cheese. In the spring the marché moves to every friday outside, with music, pizza, sausage. We are forty minutes to Lezignan, and hour or little less to Narbonne, in the opossite direction is Carcassonne, Limoux and lots of wonderful small villages in-between. Lezignan has a local marchê every Wednesday, Limoux's marché is Friday. I will supply more information to whomever comes to stay. There is a Dr. two villages over approximately 6 to 8 Kilometers and # will be supplied.

The lovely village of Lagrasse is 30 minutes away, it has an Abby, a wonderful display of ancient frescos found in houses on the old square, several shops, restaurants, and a Saturday market.

I will have that information here at the house. There are several potters in the area, one I love is in the village of Soulatgé, just 20 or so minutes from me en route to Peyrepertus, Quérbus, also check out the small village of Cucugnan, which has a famous boulangerie.
