A Purr-fect Spot

Hello, it's Chloe again . . . have you a moment to spare?

I've been thinking about what I said to you last week, and I realised that there was something I'd forgotten to add . . . something very important.  In fact, I feel quite ashamed of myself for not having mentioned it.
So let me get my paws on the computer and put things right.


When my Mum adds something to one of her letters I've noticed that she calls it a PS.
What does PS mean?  I'm not really sure.         Let's call it a Purr-fect Spot to make things clear.

You'll remember that I'm a PAT Cat who works for the Pets As Therapy Charity . . .  I gave you examples of all the different things I do, and the interesting places that I'm lucky to visit.

But, oh dear me, what I forgot to mention was how much everyone really appreciates these visits . . .  and what this means to me and my Mum.


Just look at this photo . . . do you see the smile on the face of my good friend, Ian, at the nursing home?

Aren't I a lucky cat to be able to make someone smile like that.

And remember how I was asked to go to the Phobia Clinic to see Elijah, the small boy who was scared of cats?

Well, as I told you before, on that first visit he finally came into the room and stroked me, and everyone was so, so surprised and happy.

What you don't know is what happened when my Mum took me for a second time . . . shiver my whiskers if he didn't let me sit on his lap!

And how delighted they all were . . .Elijah, his Mum and the Clinic's doctor.

Yes, it's true, I'm a lucky cat . . . and a grateful cat.
And, let's be fair, I mustn't forget my Mum.  She means well and always does her best.

But I expect you can guess what it is that really makes me purr.

You can?  That's right!

It's when my Mum brings me home after our visits and my boyfriend, Blue,  comes down the steps from where he lives and welcomes me back to the garden.

That's a Purr-fect Spot to be if ever there was one!
