This reminds me of the time my mother pet-sitted for us at her house. I told her from the beginning NOT to let the cats out - no matter what they didn't live there so they didn't know the area, what does she do? Not only did she let one out, but it was during a thunder & lightening storm too!! Luckily we did find Fluffy, he was hiding in her neighbors back yard and she was feeding him! Jeez!

During that very same stay I asked her to scoop the litter box once a day, well your not going to believe this one she did scoop the poop out, but stood there and this had to take double the time to do this: she chopped up the urine clumps back into the litter box HUH???? Oh what a mess everything turned out to be. We ended up coming home early because she let Fluffy out and he went missing - like she didn't think!

Needless to say my mother has NEVER sat for out pets ever again. This is from a grown woman, too! And this is one of the milder things my mother has done to me/us.........my mother!!!!
