Cats have a scam going - you buy the food, they eat the food, they go away; that's the deal.

attentive pet care

for Perfect Little Monsters

Let’s just face it

We humans are screwed. We thought we were so clever, domesticating animals. They were a relatively reliable source of labor and/or food, and from there it was a short jump to keeping them for companionship. Before long, we were breeding them specifically for traits we deemed desirable, from agreeable temperaments, to specialized aesthetics, to sizes that could easily be kept in urban apartment buildings. Now, I can’t type this paragraph with two hands thanks to the Shih Tzu in my lap using my left arm as a headrest.

Our pets own us

And we wouldn’t have it any other way.  They offer no less than pure, unconditional love.  All they ask in return is food, shelter, housekeeping services, personal grooming, waste removal, undivided attention on demand, and lots and lots and LOTS of scritches.

But sometimes life intervenes

We humans are complicated.  We have jobs, get overly busy, travel, and otherwise find ways to fail to live up to our pets’ expectations that we spend our every waking moment in devoted attendance to their whims.  How dare we.

That’s when you need a Scritchin Bitch

For those times you just can’t be there for your most adoring fans, the lights of your life, those spoiled rotten wonderful freeloaders we call “pets”— I’ve got your back.  Whether you’re off on a world tour or just too bogged down for a walk around the block, I will make sure your furry or otherwise non-human family members get the love and attention they’ve come to demand from their very own people.  Because your pets are absolutely, undeniably, Perfect Little Monsters.
