Hi everybuddy, Waffles here.
Yesterday Glogirly and I visited the ladies in the nursing home. Before we left the townhouse, I made sure that she packed everything I would need for my visit.
Um, Glogirly? Are my toys in here? Don't forget my toys!
I don't see my treats. Are you hiding them from me again? I promise not to eat the whole tub this time. Really, I promise.
What's In My Therapy Cat Bag?
Did you know I have my own therapy visit bag for all my stuff? I bet you're dying to know what's inside!
- Rabies certificate (ouch)
- Therapy training log (my supervisor writes in it after each visit)
- Treats (yum)
- Toys
- Postcards to had out to the ladies
- Kitty wipes in case I get dirty
- My blanket in case I want to get out and sit in one of the ladies' chairs
- My iPad with lots of my pictures
- And more treats
I have an awesome supervisor at the nursing home. Her name is Kathy and she takes care of scheduling my time and making sure I get to see all the ladies that LOVE cats. She stays with me and Glogirly and does a wonderful job of introducing us. She works with all of therapy animals and really knows her stuff.
At the end of each visit, she fills out an evaluation. After my tenth supervised visit, I'll be able to apply to be Licensed Therapy Cat.
Here's what my supervisor wrote about me yesterday:"Great visits today!! Waffles is getting even more comfortable." ...She forgot to mention that I'm getting even more cute.
We're participating in BlogPaws Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop. ...Ok, so Waffles isn't exactly 'wordless'...that's just how he rolls. Hop on over to check out all the other great pet blogs participating HERE.

You are getting cuter. I didn't think it was possible but you are. I know those ladies were probably talking about you all day knowing you were coming to see them.
ReplyDeleteGreat Job Waffles! So proud of you.
How many visits do you have left before you get your Therapy Cat papers, Waffles? Even though there is no way you could get me out to do this, I think it is quite exciting that there are other kitties who do!
ReplyDeleteCuter by the second!!!And I LOVE your tote bag :)
ReplyDeleteHi Miss Sparkly,
ReplyDeleteI have 6-7 more visits before I turn in all my paperwork and get my license!

That job is purrfect for you Waffles!
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of you! I tried to be a therapy dog, but I'm a little too energetic for it right now. Maybe when I'm older.

ReplyDeleteYo Waff, are your TREATS in there. I don’t think you mentioned them in the checklist. MOL! You’re a wonderful kitty to make the seniors smile. I can stay home and make the seniors smile.
ReplyDeleteWell done Waffles.
ReplyDeleteWaffles, you are doing such a great job! How could your supervisor not log just how cute you are every single visit? I'll be she thinks it but doesn't write it...
ReplyDeleteIt makes me happy to know that you are helping to make people happy just by being you. I'm so proud of you AND Glogirly. After all, she did pimp out the Waffles wagon for you, and she packs your bag for your visits. That's teamwork!
