Therapy Cat, Interrupted

February 22, 2022 By: Summer Samba25 Comments

Summer's therapy cat visit is interrupted, but she managed to fit in quite a few patients.

Very little was normal about this week’s therapy cat visit! First off, my human had a hard time getting the car out of the garage because the garage door was broken! She finally managed to get the car out and we still arrived on time. (She had the garage door spring replaced later that day.)

The other therapy cat, Josie, was there today too, with her humans. Both of us started off in the waiting room by the entrance. Nearly every person there wanted to see both of us! How fun that there were so many cat people.

Next, we stopped by Pediatrics, and three out of the four patients wanted to see me and Josie. Two of them were young teen girls who were bedridden. This was fine with me, since I got to relax on the bed and make happy paws for them. The other patient was a quiet and solemn teenage boy. He petted me for a very long time.

Josie visited these patients too. While she was with the boy, my human and I stopped by the Residents’ Work Room. A couple of them were there and so happy to see me! For the woman, it was her first time seeing one of the therapy pet teams, since she often was on the Covid wards.

After visiting the residents, my human and I sat for a few minutes while Josie finished up… and then alarms sounded and lights started flashing. It turned out to be a Code Red, which means fire or smoke. I don’t think the problem was serious, but we went downstairs and the staff asked us to sign out for the day.

In case you are wondering, I wasn’t disturbed by the alarm sounds, or the flashing lights. Which is one of the reasons I’m a therapy cat.

    Sorry your visit got cut short, but at least it wasn’t anything serious.
    It’s so nice that you can visit patients again, I’m sure they were happy you were there.

    You did way better than our oldest son…at least when he was about 5 or 6, he was scared to death by those loud noises and he refused to go into the gym at his school, because he knew there was a big red alarm in there…he had fluid in his ears, so that made the noise hurt and vibrate much louder and longer. At least he grew out of it. He just laughs now when we talk about that time.

    Glad the garage door got fixed.

    We love reading about your therapy visits!

    Glad the alarms don’t bother you. Our mom doesn’t like fire alarms. Still spooked from fire years ago.

    I’m glad you had a good visit sweet Summer! Our Dad spent his career at hospitals and those loud alarms and flashing lights always bugged him.

    Whoa! Excitement! I’m usually not disturbed when the fire alarm in the common hall sounds although TW is and sometimes that worries me. She has to feel the door for heat and go out and check all over. We come from a long line of firemen.

    Summer, I have appointments today with:
    1. Eye Doctor
    2. Dentist
    3. Chiropractor
    I think I’ll mention to all that they need therapy cats in residence!

    Good for you not being scared when the big noise happened at the hospital…….until that happened you made a lot of new friends though and made lots of people feel HAPPY for a while.

    Hugs, Teddy

    Did your human do anything to de-sensitize you to those strobing lights or is it just training as a therapy cat?

    That was an eventful visit, but at least you were able to get visits in before the alarms went off.

    Seems it was an excellent visit. You two kitties took care of business and
    were well received. I want to tell you, I went to my doctor’s office last week
    and there was a golden doodle there young but full size. He was everywhere.
    I would have liked it better if you and Josie had been there instead – quieter and
    more relaxing!
