Unfortunately, I was unaware that the Tuesday visit to the animal shelter conflicted with my Tuesday bus ride home for Thanksgiving break. Due to this conflict, I ended up hopping in the car with the other group and going a week later.
One of the cats who’s been in the shelter since I started volunteering is named Queenie. On her door are a set of rules to follow to ensure that she doesn’t get angry with you. In fact, when I started in September, she was a staff only cat, but recently became open to the public. Vic, perhaps because the strict rules make this cat more enticing, always seems to want to play with her. I think he’s insane. This cat is crazy I can see it in her eyes.
One of the rules is that picking Queenie up is strictly off-limits. Despite this, Queenie remains very much a lap cat; if you so much as kneel in her presence, there’s a good chance she’ll hop onto your knees and lay down, trapping you in your awkward position for as long as she wants.
I’ve never been a cat person, but it sounds really cute that this cat has learned to open up and interact with others. I wonder how the staff got her to this state? Where there general rules to follow when playing with the other cats?
That’s really cool that she started off as staff only cat but you were able to play with her later. It’s really cute that she would hop into your lap. I love cats so I would love to be able to play with her.
