John and I spent about three weeks watching one of our friend's cat, Maisy. She was a stray cat that kept visiting our friends until they decided to start feeding her, and luckily, take her in. They made sure no one else was searching for the pint sized cat before officially taking her in. And let me tell you, they made a good choice. She's a super sweet cat that is so small that she probably weighs less than our own miniature, Nova. But then Nova was also super tiny when we took her in (also a stray), too.

It was sad when our time watching her was up. We had grown attached to Maisy Pie (as I affectionately started calling her). She was a shy little thing when we first started taking care of her and by the end, she was a head-butting, purring machine who loved her lazer pointer and oddly enough...her ping pong ball. But at least we know she's well taken care of.
As a thank you for watching their cat, our friends brought back some chocolate from
the Old Chocolate House from Bruges, Belgium. Totally unexpected, but definitely appreciated. I don't know about anyone else, but I can't say no to chocolate (European chocolate at that). But honestly, we could have watched Maisy without expecting any sort of gift or payment. We enjoyed our time with her and I'm sure she enjoyed being with us too.
