Cello is my very special siamese cat. He is very brave and likes to go on walks and bikerides, and recently I have been taking him on carrides to the pet food store. One day when I was there someone asked me to take him for a therapy pet assessment and I thought about it and applied, figured it couldn't hurt. I took him today with no expectations........... but he was PERFECT. We were in a room in the middle of a VERY busy SPCA...... the lady couldn't believe how good he was.... they passed him from person to person and he just layed down on each lap. He was unphased by everything going on, a little upset about the dogs that came in, but just kind of avoided them, which is fine in a therapy pet situation. He is the second cat that ever passed the assessment, and it is really exciting because a lot of the elderly and mentally ill are 'cat' people and respond much better to them then dogs.
So in a couple weeks we will begin! I am only taking him once a week since I can't take much time off work, but I am so excited........ I think more then once a week might be a bit much for him, but he was SUCH a star. I love this cat so so much
