I guess they could probably put out a table of some of their toys. They probably have too many. If they sold everything they didn't absolutely need, they might be able to buy food for a week.

I'm not sure how the pet sitting would work out. They've tried caring for some lizards, birds and mice, but it never ended well. I guess they play a bit too enthusiastically. With their teeth.

As far as babysitting an actual human child, I don't think they're cut out for that kind of work. As soon as my two-year-old grandson walks in the door, they make a dash out their cat door.
