    For some of us, contact with kitties is essential to our mental health. You should mention this to the Powers That Be. A cuddle with a kitty can do so much for a person and this should be recognized. Plus, cats are easier to keep than dogs.
    Proud to be a crazy cat lady!

    When my friend was in a nursing home, I took a litter of kittens over to visit one day and it made everyones day! Everyone got excited, the residents and the employees. That home had a resident cat that was free to wander where ever it wanted and it meant a LOT to the people who stayed there. There were also several residents there that were allowed to bring their own cat to live with them there as long as they stayed in the owners room. I thought that was exceptionally nice. Great to hear from you David! I miss you..

    That is wonderful - hope they make it a regular visit from now on. It is hard to be without animals when you're used to having them around

    I would get a bunch residents together that like the pet therapy with a cat, to sign a petition saying they would like it as part of their therapy. How can they say no, providing the cat/kitten has a clean bill of health.

    I hope it happens again, honey. Cuz I've never heard such happiness in your voice.

    That would be the thing I would miss the most too, is having the companionship of a Cat.
    I will see if any of My Found Ctas would be suitable for that once my One Fine Day comes.
    I think Tubster Panther would make a Great Cat Visitor.

    I agree! I had the worst, most horrible day at work yesterday. I felt so miserable when I got home but as I was driving down my driveway I saw Buddy in the window and my mood immediately changed.

    I hope you can get to see kitties more often David. I know you really miss them.
