It was a fairly quiet day at the children’s hospital, and that was a good thing. The night before, my human fell on her butt while loading stuff into her trunk, and she was still sore in the morning! So it was up to me to carry the whole therapy cat visit.
I mean, she wasn’t totally useless. She still took photos of me with kids, and helped me show off my high fives and paw shakes. But things like squatting to pick me or the tote bag up were a bit difficult. I definitely had to carry more weight (figuratively) this time.
And she did answer the usual questions about me. Like, what kind of cat I am and such. The father of the first boy we saw in an exam room wanted to know why I arched my back when he petted me. My human explained that that, along with my purring and making happy paws, meant I was enjoying myself. (I happened to be doing all three.) It’s funny how people don’t know all these cat signals. But I’m glad I’m there to demonstrate them, and my human is happy to answer them.
I did do one thing out of the ordinary today. I got to visit the outside rehab area. It’s on the upper floor, like a giant balcony, so it wasn’t totally open. But it was still a little strange and my human had a hard time getting me to focus on the people and not so much on exploring the area.
The hour actually flew by pretty quickly. And I’m sure by the time we have our next therapy cat visit, my human will have completely forgotten about her sore butt.

Sorry your human got a sore butt but glad you made some kids happy.
Sorry your human got all butt hurt.
I’ve had the sore butt syndrome before…the discomfort can go on a few weeks but Ibuprofen helped me. Hope you feel better, Human. Summer, I brought home a Maine Coon kitty girl last December and she keeps me on my toes….you would love Suzy! Your last visitation sounds very beneficial! XXXX
Hope your human heals quickly! It’s funny to think of people asking questions about such typical (to us) cat behavior.
Just as long as you don’t have to carry her in a human-size carrier while she heals!
I know you were up to the task sweet Summer! Purrs to your human from us.
I hope your human feels better soon. XO
I hope your human is soon feeling better.
Sore butts can really be a pain in the butt!
Hope the ill effects are lessening by now.
Good job helping your Human, Summer…and all those little peeps, too.
Ouch! Your poor Mom, hope she is feeling better. I’m glad you had a good therapy visit, I bet everyone just loved you there.
Ouch, sorry your human fell, but glad you could pick up the slack.
Now, really, Summer!
Did you have to announce to the whole wide world about your human’s injury?
I’m sorry about that fall. Your human is probably pretty sore
getting around now. So you therapy visit was good – thank you.
