The job posting seems normal enough until you learn that the sanctuary isn’t in some sad brick building lined with cages, but is instead located on the stunning Greek island of Syros, where all the cats run free.
With the job, you’ll not only have the love of many cats, but you’ll also have a fully paid for, modern little house with its own garden that also has a view of the Aegean Sea, and a small salary to boot.

Lol.....
Want to relocate?

The cat is a Manx. The Manx gene is dominant, so much so that a kitten with the two dominant Manx genes cannot live.
With a litter of four the probability is that two of the kittens will have some type of Manx trait, ie. shortened or no tail.
I am not sure. She had five kittens and they all had beautiful colors except one is just a grey tabby.
I’m sure that’s a very demanding job!
That’s OK. I’ll watch it twice!
“I started feeding a feral cat. She now hangs around the porch and I noticed she is expecting for the second time”
We fed a black feral cat on our screen porch for a year. He (Darth Vader) got fat, and then he lost weight. Then “he” plopped himself on the back sidewalk in front of our kitchen window nursing three babies. The message: “They’re your problem now.”
So Darth Vader became Darth Ann. We trapped her and the babies and took them to a low-cost spay / neuter clinic. Then we released them. If you can spay the mama, it would be good. Babies in the wild usually die horrific deaths.
Anyhow, winter came, and Tennessee winters can be bad. Now all of them live in our house and are the sweetest and most tame of all of our pets.
They adopted you. :)
Question at interview by potential candidate, “Can I bring my dog?”
PERFECT JOB FOR ME!
My cat, my Granddaughter named her “Smores”, had hers in a very well hidden box in a store room. I had to follow her to find them. She kept them there for maybe a month then moved them to a perfect hiding place.
It was behind the heat pump where there was one space between bricks just big enough for the kittens to go into and hide but not large enough for her. She had a low drawn out “meow” which actually did sound like meow. She used that to call them to her.
After maybe two months she moved them all to the front porch, tho I noticed she moved them back to the hiding place once for a week or so.
She is a pretty wily and smart cat. She knows how to take care of them.
That’s like being married to 55 women.
No thanks.
(And I have a cat. Only one. She’s my bud.)
Great story!
A cat adopted us on vacation house rental at Lake Almanor in California. We were unpacking the car and he walked right in to join us and never left us. No tag, no chip, no “Lost Cat” posters at any of the veterinarian and animal clinics in nearby Chester, CA, none of the neighbors knew him. Being mid-August, winter wasn’t far away and he would have had zero chance in a tough mountain winter. So we decided to bring him home and adopt him. He was the nicest, most mellow and most pleasant cat we ever had. The kids named him “PK” for “Perfect Kitty.” We’ve got two successors and they are nice, but nothing like him. He passed about five years ago.
I’ll do it!
Look at all their wee dishes!
Sounds like a dream job, except for the whole husband, family, grand-kids and I don’t fly thing.
As for that one grey tabby, probably different “baby daddies”, I’ve seen feral litters where it was pretty clear mama cat was not at all selective in her amorous adventures.
I had not thought of that.
There is a really big feral male who I see maybe once a month. I assumed he was the papa. None of the kittens look like him tho. Three of the 5 looked a bit like mama.
It does look like a mighty good deal. Pretty place and pretty kittehs.
But I already have my hands full with the 40 kittehs we have.
Guess I’ll have to pass on this one. LOL
