The children’s hospital was really busy when we showed up! There were lots of kids in the lobby, and most of them loved kitties. Even the one mom who was allergic to cats let her teenager visit with me — she just kept a safe distance.
The exam rooms were also full, of course, and I visited as many as I could. One room had a family with three kids. I didn’t notice which one was the patient, but two of them loved me, and the youngest was a little nervous. Curious, but kind of scared. But by the time my human pulled out the instamatic camera for a family photo of the three of them with me, he had warmed up enough to stand right behind me on the couch.
Another fun patient was a baby with a deformed foot. She was so overjoyed to see me! Her sister petted me a little, but the baby was way into visiting me. With her mom’s help, she was even able to gently pet me. She was actually a very gentle kid already. She will be an awesome animal lover when she gets older.
I visited some more kids in the lobby on the way out, including a cute girl in a wheelchair who was sitting at the crafts table. But we wound up ending the visit about 8 minutes early. My human sensed I was tired and could tell I wanted to go home. This is why when you see a pet therapy team, the human handler is almost always the pet’s owner. They know us the best and are tuned into our wants and needs. It’s their job to honor us when we need to rest so we can keep looking forward to future visits.
Other than that, it was a really nice visit.
