Amina works with indoor-only cats — the ones who manage the windows, the radiator, and your calendar. She is especially good with cats who have never lived with another animal.

About this work

I am a one-cat person who has been that cat’s entire government. I know the job.

A lot of “behavior problems” in apartments are a cat with no job and a window that faces a brick wall. I look at vertical space, night noise, and whether you’re around at the hour they were weaned to eat.

I also work with people who are traveling more for work and feeling guilty. Sometimes the cat is fine. Sometimes they would like the neighbor who already has a key to sit for twenty minutes, not just refill the bowl.

Loaf started attacking my ankles at 5 a.m. Amina said he used to hunt at dawn on a porch, before I adopted him, and the hallway is his hunting ground now. We got a timed feeder for 5 a.m. Ankles survived. Marriage survived.

I was about to get a second cat. Amina said Pepper would rather have a second window perch and a person who comes home for lunch once a week. I work from home Tuesdays now. Pepper is unbearable in the best way.
