Our day started with table station activities in the tent such as animal crosswords, coloring & a new group of feral cat feeders put out new food & water for our three ferals. We didn't spot any of the cats as they were probably busy hunting out in the wild, but they certainly will be happy to find the food by the shelter later and we even left them a special treat, some wet food!
We then were treated to a special guest, Vanessa Zerillo, who taught us all about cats & how they behave. The campers then were split into small groups and presented with a cat related problem to solve and they talked together to brainstorm ideas about what the best solutions could be to help out their specific cats. Some problems included a cat who needed to lose weight and a new cat being introduced into a home that already has a cat. Some things we learned that most people may not know is that chocolate, grapes, onion, and garlic are toxic to cats, the number of litter boxes in your home should equal the number of cats you have plus 1 extra litter box, and that cat's whiskers are not like hair and do have nerves in them and therefore should never be cut off!
