I’ve always presumed that patches lives in one of the homes in our neighborhood, however I’ve never satisfied her assistant. In fact, I don’t even understand if she has one. patches spends many of her time hiking as well as checking out the excellent outdoors.
Sometimes when my assistant — let’s phone call her Jane — as well as I go out for a walk, we run into Patches, as well as whatever seems fine. I feel like we’re all friends, however then Jane spends a great 10 minutes petting patches as well as scratching behind her ears.

With my long-time assistant, Karen
DEAR NOT LOVING: I feel your pain. The bond between a feline as well as his/her pet assistant is sacred, as well as while I believe you ought to be a bit concerned, it’s most likely as well early to bare your claws.
Yes, your assistant’s actions are extremely suspicious, however there may be other things going on. Jane may not be doing anything wrong. in some cases cats like patches who spend a great deal of time on their own get extremely lonely. perhaps she’s just searching for a bit like as well as attention. I’ve understood numerous outside kitties like that.
Until you have all the facts, it’s as well early to presume that your assistant is searching for a new job. keep your eyes as well as ears open, as well as if patches comes house with your assistant one of these days, that’s your cue to overreact.
Three issues with boundaries
DEAR TABBY: I pet help for three extremely beautiful Siamese kitties, as well as I like my job. I like working for all three of them, however they have no respect for boundaries. I can’t even take a lunch break without one or much more of them strolling into my office unannounced.
I’m not sure what to do…
I might be sitting there at my desk eating a sandwich — so certainly I’m taking a break — however they act completely unaware. They hop up on the desk, walk around my sandwich as well as even have the nerve to purr.
Tabby, I take my task extremely seriously, however by the exact same token, I likewise requirement my breaks. Am I being unreasonable to expect a bit courtesy? Isn’t their habits rude?
— working difficult for the Money
Hard at work
DEAR working HARD: You should be an amazing pet assistant since it seems like your three kitty employers really, truly like costs time with you.
My personal philosophy? Humans are worthy of breaks as well as boundaries, too. however not all felines feel the exact same way.
I believe you requirement to have a conversation with your employers. Be firm with them, however don’t yell. If you yell, they’ll just run away. tell them that you like helping them however requirement a break during the day. An hour of alone time at lunch shouldn’t be as well much to ask.
Single Maine Coon (husky) seeks kind companion

Many would-be assistants make fun of my size, however I’m utilized to it now, so I just meow as well as purr to put other family pets as well as people at ease. I wouldn’t mind so much, however you see, I likewise online at a shelter, as well as the humans always seem to gravitate toward the kitties in the workstation next door.
I understand that my size intimidates smaller humans. Either that, or they’re intimidated by my wealth, as I’ve made some extremely rewarding investments on the worldwide gravy trading market.
