Jungle & Jack – Two Lively Cats Living in Guichen – Brittany 29 July – 11 August 2018 – France

Jungle and Jack live with their little family in a small village backing onto the river La Vilaine. We were invited to dinner the night before the owners left for their holiday in the Ardeche and received the house keys and instructions as they were leaving early the next morning. We were to be their first experience with Housesitters.

Jungle and Jack are two very different cats with Jungle being the older of the two, quite shy and timid whereas Jack being the younger cat was still in kitten stage always up for playing and a little bit of mischief. To say they didn’t like each other was an understatement. They were fed two different types of dry food with you having to stand guard over Jungle’s food as Jack was forever trying to pinch her food prior to finishing his own. Both Jack and Jungle were easy care pets and we thoroughly enjoyed their company. The family had an above ground pool that we also maintained during our stay.

We enjoyed afternoon walks along the towpath of the river and it was nothing to look out the back door and see a canal boat either passing or moored right behind the house. The owners left details for surrounding places of interest and on the odd morning or afternoon we took ourselves off and discovered this to be a beautiful area of Brittany.
