My flatmates are stuck looking after 2 cats for 2 weeks... How do I pay them back?

You could buy them a Cat. :popcorn:

I have 2 dogs and zero flatmates. I’m lucky in that I can usually get a friend to agree to stay over to take care of the pups. In return, I stock the fridge and I leave a few blue bills on the fridge. Still works out cheaper than boarding, and I know my dogs will be with someone they know in their home environment.

I had that deal before, but it was 2 girls, rather than dogs.
Let me tell you, it did NOT end well.

:no-no:

My friend was a former IDF tank gunner, that may have been part of the problem. :ponder:

Haha, Rocket - I have read your reply a few times and I still don’t get it. What did the OP do in the end?

Had fun, came home with a bottle of champagne and some chocolate, was greeted by my cats, all is right in the world. (mostly)
