Catsitter wanted for Labour Weekend
Hi Upper Hutt!
I've had a house/cat sitter for 20-23 October (Labour Weekend) unfortunately fall through so I'm looking for a catsitter to come and stay with my two rescue kitties, Maeve (black and white) and Luna (tabby). They grew up in a colony before being taken in by a cat rescue and are still pretty weary of people at first so any sitters must be willing and able to come and meet them and me before the sitting dates please.
I have a lovely 2 bedroom house in Trentham/Wallaceville, pretty close to Upper Hutt city (about a 20 min walk) and Wallaceville train station (a 10 minute walk).
Looking for a quiet non-smoking sitter, preferably a single person as that's what the cats are used to. They are shut inside at night and are pretty good at turning up for dinner (I shut the cat door before feeding them) or coming when their names are called or treat bags are shaken (if they're just having a really good time outside!).
Bonus if you can water and keep an eye on my (novice) gardening efforts, which will generally be feline supervised if they're still outside.
After Labour weekend, I do have a few more sets of potential dates for sitting, including at some point over the Xmas/holiday period, so finding someone willing to discuss/look at future sitting dates would be lovely for continuity.
Please message me if interested and available, as well as with any questions.
Thanks!

EMPIRE BUILDING TRUMP
So Donald Trump does not want to start any wars and is a peace maker.
And yet he is seriously seeking to annex the world's largest island, Greenland from Denmark, take over the Panama Canal from the sovereign country of Panama who have owned it since 1977 and even forthrightly suggesting that Canada ceases being a nation and become a state or series of states of the USA.
Greenland above everything else, harbours minerals vital for todays and tomorrows world and that is what probably attracts Trump most. His son is looking things over in Greenland as this thread is being produced. Climate change is also changing Greenland which despite its name is currently mainly covered in ice and snow all year round. Greenland has a population of 55,000.
Panama's major asset after tourism and services is the canal with a current revenue of $5 billion. It operates its shipping charges through an international organisation so that the USA gets an unbias deal for its ships etc that use the canal. Panama is a poor country on the improve and has a population of 4.5 million.
Denmark is a member of NATO. But Trump has threatened many times for the USA to pull out of this Europe-USA defence alliance and Greenland may be the straw that finally breaks the pact.
Canada is surrounded by the USA but it is so much unlike the USA and much more akin to Australia and NZ. In contrast to the USA, Canada is one of the happiest countries in the world and in total land area is the world's second largest.
NZ is going to come under the scrutiny of Trump and his henchmen/women. He will probably look to cut NZ away from its free trade arrangements with China with some kind of ultimatum.
