Animals can sense if someone is in need of help or love. They can run to provide that help. One hospital at Look Ahead Vet in Oroville, California has six cats that live and work there.
The females are Elfie, Uno, Bea, and Peggy and the males are Oj and Theo. They were brought to them at different times by different people. All these cats were strays and had suffered severe injuries.
But now they have become one big family and they work in the hospital. Their role is to help the patients and their owners feel better.
One of the cats, Bae is particularly able to sense who is not feeling better and she knows how to make everyone feel better. It is said that she has a healing touch.
She is the head of the nursing department and she makes her rounds in the hospital, petting each animal. According to Crystal Bessmer, a vet tech at the animal hospital, Bae is very curious and she is very gentle. She loves to walk up to the animals and puts her hand in slowly to check them out.
Bae loves everyone and she is always like that. She is not afraid of anything, even the big farm animals. There are different roles taken by all six cats. Theo is the comforter who knows when someone is sad.
Elfie is the head of the security department as she likes to run towards the chaos. Oj is the doorman who greets everyone. Uno is the babysitter who loves to watch puppies and kittens. Peggy is the youngest of all, he is called the hospital cat in training or intern.
These cats perform their duties very well for the smooth running of the hospital. They provide much-needed help to their coworkers.
Really these cats are the assets for the hospital. Everyone loves them and cares for them. They have proved to be therapeutic for the clients and workers.
Read these characteristics which almost all cat lovers have in common:
INTROVERTED AND SENSITIVE
It’s the nature of cats that they are not friends with everybody, and the same trait can be seen in their owners too. Usually, they live alone and are happy with their independent lifestyle. They are introverts but are comfortable hanging around with other people. However, they would need some me-time to relax and recharge.
CAT LOVERS LEAN TO LEFT
It has been observed that people with liberal political leanings prefer cats over dogs. You might be a liberal dog lover or a conservative cat owner; if you’re a liberal, you love cats and vice versa.
CAT OWNERS ARE OPEN-MINDED
Five traits – conscientiousness, neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, and openness are often seen in most cat lovers. As compared to dog owners, people who have cats as pets are more open and therefore, have greater artistic creativity.
ATTENTION SEEKERS
Just like their pets, cat lovers seek attention from people around them. They like to be the centre of all conversations. At times, cat owners rely on their pets for emotional support.
THEY RESPECT CATS MORE THAN ANYONE
Cat people respect cats more than humans, in general. The saddest sight for a cat lover is to see the animal on the streets without a home. Cat lovers are often seen making a special effort to rescue or rehabilitate homeless cats.
