Hi Tom, Thank you for looking after my cat on Monday. Her food is in the cupboard next to the fridge. Please give her one small bowl in the morning and another bowl in the evening. Put fresh water in the blue bowl too. Before you leave, please close the kitchen window. Her toys are under the table. Thanks again, Mia
