Humane Society Update

I volunteered at the Humane Society Friday and Saturday for about 2 hours each. I did cat socialization. I sat and played with about 10-12 cats each time. You could tell the cats were lonely so it felt good to be able to cheer them up a little and to hear them meow. It was also good because there were a lot of people looking for animals each day so I think it was beneficial to allow prospective adopters see how the cats interacted with people. I never had a cat as a pet before nor have I interacted with cats a lot but I noticed that they have really rough tongues. At first this perplexed me but then I spotted a cat licking itself and I realized the rough tongue must have been an adaptation for grooming. I never knew this about cats before but I hope that as I continue to volunteer with cats and other animals I'm able to find out other interesting things about them.
