After a long day of classes, I was really excited to go play with some cats. When I got there, I first played with some kittens. One of the kittens really wanted to come outside and kept trying to climb around my arms and jump off. He was very cute and I felt bad that I couldn’t let him down. When I went into the cat wing, I visited each of the rooms. Some of the cats were aloof and others were very friendly and I enjoyed getting to know each of the cats. I eventually got to a room with three cats that were newer to the shelter. Expecting shy cats, I went into their room quietly and got low down on the floor so as not to intimidate them. I let them smell my hands and soon, Jeremiah, a black and white cat with beautiful green eyes, jumped down out of curiosity. He seemed very mischievous and reminded me of a cat I used to foster, who would get very hyper when I played fetch with him. Mike, an orange tabby that had been watching the whole time, also seemed intrigued and after petting him for a while, he came down to my lap. Petting him and playing with Jeremiah was very relaxing and I thought each of their personalities were unique. An afternoon at the shelter passed by quickly and I went back to campus much more awake than before.
