Hey there, O Faithful Readers, particularly of the local variety.

As you may know, Michelle and I are moving to East Arlington in a few weeks. (Huzzah!) We've got plans in place, plans that include booking movers, renting a van, carrying cats around, that sort of thing. We don't need anyone to drive anything, or lift anything heavy, or anything like that. On the other hand, part of our plans are: taking the cats down to Arlington on Wednesday night, sleeping on an air mattress in the apartment, and then going and dealing with all the heavy moving Thursday morning/afternoon. The downside of this plan is that it involves the cats sitting in an unfamiliar apartment alone.

So: is there anyone out there who's feeling particularly unemployed, who wouldn't mind sitting with the cats on Thursday to make sure they don't get too edgy? (If you've never met our cats: they're really generally quite sweet, though one of them can get a little bit bitey, but only when provoked and is easily distracted by laser pointers and treats.) Or if you're free and are dying to help but just can't tolerate cats, you could come up to Lynn with Michelle while I stay in the apartment with the cats. (Again, no heavy lifting! Just a warm body to help lower stress, hold doors, and whatnot.)

If you can't find anyone, there are several Fetch pet care franchises in the area (friends of mine run Herndon Fetch: http://fetchpetcare.com/home/loc_id/306/a/home/-/getlocation.php ) that might be able to help out.

Oop! Yeah, that was obvious to anyone who was in fact local, but probably not to anyone else... As it happens, I'd mentally filed the link away for later perusal (tomorrow's move isn't high-priority enough to have warranted hiring anyone; I can always sit with the cats myself). Well, and now I know. :-)

Hee! Well, the link is for the VA/MD area, but I imagine that Fetch (or some equivalent) might have some local presence in MA. Hope the move goes (has gone?) well!

Oh, I wish I could! I love cats, would like to meet yours, but we have a looming deadline at work and I can't take time off. (Seriously, I love cats enough that I would otherwise take time off from work.)

Welcome to the neighborhood!

Ditto on all counts - well, I guess for "the neighborhood" you should read "general vicinity" but I'm delighted you & Michele will be within biking distance.

I've got a couple of kid free hours in the morning on Thursdays (8:45am-11:15am approx.) if that would be helpful. I'm guessing 2 preschoolers chasing them would not make them less edgy. :)
