Therapy Cat Tales from 5/18/11

So sorry this note is a week late, but we've been busy with our little visitor!  ;)

Last Wednesday, when Mommy said it was visiting day I went to eat one more bite of food and then she put me in my stroller and away we went!  One of the bus drivers laughed at my stroller, because he'd never seen a cat stroller before.  I just looked at him and meowed!

At H., my friends who normally greet me before I start working weren't there, but I saw someone else I knew.  Then, I went up in the elevator to do my rounds.  P. was sitting by the fishtank, and giggled when I paid more attention to the fishies than to her.  But they were interesting!  Then I went over to see D. on the other side of the wall, and saw more fishies!  A big, black one was waving its tail just out of reach, taunting me!

T. was sitting in a chair with her walker in front of her when I strolled up.  She invited me onto her lap, so I hopped up, but then I noticed her walker.  I walked on her lap to her knees, then jumped over to the seat on her walker and curled up.  She loved it!  She kept telling me how everyone loves me.  <3  <3  <3

Some people were sleeping, and others were not there, so we didn't visit as much as I'd have liked to.  We did see one new person, though.  H. (the person, not the place) has a new hip replacement, so she was in bed with a bag of ice on her leg.  She was sooo glad to see me!  She lives on one of the other floors, but because of her surgery she was on our floor for recovering.  I curled up inbetween her feet for a bit, then walked up and sat on her so she could pet me.  Then back to her feet.  Her daughter, C., came in for a visit after a while, and was glad to see me there!  C. had seen "Tabby the Cat" on the schedule for the floor, and wondered what that could be!  It was me!  Even when H. gets better, she may still come down to see me on my visiting days.  Purrrrrrrs!
