I bet you are all wondering how my therapy cat evaluation went!
I passed! This isn’t my real harness, though — when I go for my first visit, I’ll get my real harness with the name of the organization on it. I will be honest, I was a little nervous, but it turned out that I didn’t have to do anything I wasn’t used to. I was on my leash, and several people I didn’t know handled me and cuddled me. Then somebody brought out a big dog and walked him around the room. I barely noticed the dog — I certainly saw enough dogs at the cat show at the Phoenix Pet Expo! The only weird part was that when my human put me back in my carrier, a friend of hers took me home. She had to stay behind to learn some other stuff.
The organization is called Love On 4 Paws, and my human chose them because they had several places that they serviced that were near our part of town. The day of the orientation, they gave my human this camera and film because when we do visits, she’ll be taking photos of me with the patients and giving them the pictures. Isn’t that cool?
I can’t wait to get started! But my human has to do a couple of things first. She needs to get clearance with the hospital we will be visiting, and she’ll need a TB test. Once that is taken care of, I can go visiting!
Wonderful News, Summer! I have been so anticipating your doing well in the test and being able to start brightening others lives! You are going to be such a sweet surprise for them!
Love,
Lily

Summer, I’m going to plan a trip to Los Angeles (from Seattle), and hire you to visit me for 2-3 hours at my hotel, and I’m just going to have you sit on my lap and purr, while I pet your soft smooth fur! I know that my blood pressure and heart rate will improve just from your presence!
