I started working the children’s hospital even before my human signed us in. She placed me on the front desk and the security staff was so happy to see me and pet me. Once they were done, it was time for me to see who was in the lobby area.
There were several kids in the lobby to visit. I think one mom who called us over was more interested in petting me than her son, who was focused on a computer game. He did give me some pets though. Next there was a family, and the dad told us his daughter loved kitties. And the way her face lit up when she saw me, that was pretty obvious! A girl in a wheelchair was also excited to see me.
We visited a bunch of exam rooms. It seemed like everybody we saw today were cat lovers, even the doctors! So it was an especially fun day.
We also visited the surgery center. There were no patients when we stopped by, but the nurses were thrilled I was there for them. One took some selfies with me. I want to mention, visiting with the staff is equally as important as visiting with the patients. They have a hard job and they need a break for fun and stress relief.
Of course, the patients are very important too. One of the people who saw my TikTok video about my visit said that she had been going to this group of hospitals since she was a preschooler, and it was always very stressful. Doing things like X-rays and getting measured for braces took a long time, and it’s very hard on a child. I’m so glad this hospital understands that and tries to make things better for their young patients. And I’m so happy to be part of that.

You’re such a little angel, Summer.
You are very stress relieving to everyone. Just seeing your adorable face relaxes me. xo
You bet the staff needs some enjoyment. TW tries to be extra pleasant but it’s hard when she’s a human pincushion. TW got into Wordle cos that’s something the hospital staff uses to destress. I’ll bet seeing a cat such as yourself would be better.
You are a special therapist sweet Summer and we’re so glad you are in the game helping others.
Thank you for helping so many people through your visits, Summer. You and your human rock!
I can only imagine what it would be like to have so many
people happy and excited to see me on a visit. It’s a
really nice thing you and your human do on your visits.
Sounds like those doctors have excellent taste!
Summer…I love reading about your therapy visits!!!

You bring happiness on your therapy visits, Summer!
It is so good that you like visiting hospitals Summer. I think lots of people ,kids and adults , can benefit from
some kitty love. Patting a cat can lower blood pressure 😉
