Listen, everybody has their limits. Europeans walk and bike a lot. Americans don’t. Hang out in an American mall for an hour, and then tell me if you think those people should be walking around nude.
According to the article, you’re only required to work with the cats for 5 hours per day. As for food, they provide breakfast as well as housing. Assuming you sleep 8 hours per day, that’s 11 hours per day to yourself. Frankly, I think this would be an amazing way to spend a summer month or two.
Can you ONLY be around them 5 hours a day? Because the 11 hours without them sounds pretty sad. So does the 8 hours of sleep without kitties on top of me, soaking up my warmth.
The article says, “applicants will be expected to commit five hours per day, five days per week to hands-on feline care.” To me that means if you want to spend more time with them than you can. I imagine you could do as many hours per day and days per week that you want to. You are correct though that having to spend eight hours sleeping without kitty cuddles could be a negative.
It’s a summer program. Not sure if they let you say “I’ll be there for a week” but I would bet on making it a vacation and assuming you need some money of your own.
Ope, didn’t catch that. Well, a month in Greece with free room and breakfast would be a pretty affordable vacation, and five hours a day with cats isn’t terrible.
Are you telling me I get to play with cats all day, get free housing AND leave the U.S?
This has to be the onion right?
But there are caveats, like warm weather, tasty food and nude beaches. That’s the catch. That’s how they getcha.
Greece in summer would probably be pretty hot. I don’t do well with heat, so that lets me out.
Aaaah my nemesis, [*checks notes*] tasty food. Oh well, I guess I’ll have to try and make a sacrifice for the cats.
Noooooooooo
Ah, the nude beaches. That’s the loophole. They won’t be allowing me there.
Europeans have a different attitude about nudity. Perfection is not required.

Meh, the German lady that I saw sunbathing topless in Belize was built for comfort rather than speed. And that’s perfectly fine.
Free housing
But you’re occupied with taking care of cats
Good luck buying food, etc

Maybe I could take 2 or 3 home at night, if I promise to bring them back in the morning. Rotate them, give them all a chance to visit.
I really want this job, I have to learn Greek.

The article says the minimum commitment is a month. They also provide breakfast.

Yeah where do I sign up?
