Did you know that reading to cats is a "thing?" It's a practice that is very popular in shelters everywhere. It simply, relaxes the cat. When a enters a shelter cat room, cozies up in a cushioned corner with the book of his choice, and begins to read aloud, cats are found to cuddle up to that child. The cats are learning social skills that will help them get adopted; the child is learning to care about animals; the shelter is strengthening relationships in the community. During the month of May, our group members went to the shelter to read to the cats. At the end of May, our group met to gather the donations and make cat toys to deliver to the shelter.
