House sitting

So I'm house sitting for some people at my church for a good week or more.  I've really never understood this concept of 'house sitting'.  The house isn't gonna run away.  They do have a cat that I have to take care of.  Now I know some of you are probably laughing right now cause you know how much I hate cats.  Luckily, this one isn't too bad except for the time that it decided to eye my food.  It's a little odd at night to be the only one there but I kinda like it during the day....time for myself, free range of the computer and tv.  Kinda nice but I wouldn't mind a roomie.
