Vienna,
Do you think your friend would mind feeding my cat once in awhile?
Lynx used to be an outdoor cat and loved to hunt (as any cat would). He'd bring me birds, rabbits, mice and anything back from the hunt when I lived close to the river. But that was awhile ago and being downtown now, I can't let him out and it's a shame because I know he'd love to tear some meeces to pieces, even though he's old now. Maybe your buddy could feed him when I'm away on business.
I dunno, what do you think?
