Hi readers! Mommy is training our fluffiest, most attention-loving cat, Cuddles, to be a therapy cat. A therapy cat is a cat that gets taken to hospitals or senior living centers so the people there get to pet a cat.
In order to be a therapy animal, your pet must:
- not be too scared of loud noises
- be neatly groomed and have its nails trimmed
- be willing to let people other than the handler pet it
- react calmly (no hissing or spitting) to light ear tugs, gentle tail tugs, etc.
Anyway, as part of training, Mommy has to get Cuddles used to wearing a harness and being walked on a leash. So we take him outside, and walk him up and down the sidewalk in front of our house. He really likes it--in fact, as I write this he's staring out the window, meowing!
I got some pics:

| What's this? |

| I'm just going to eat it. Yum... |

 |
| No, I'm staying here. You can't make me move! |

| You made me move. |
I hope you liked the Cuddles pics! --Taryn
