Santa Paws was here a couple of months ago, right? He only gives presents to good cats and dogs. I obviously wished for a home, but I guess I hadn’t been good enough, because he mumbled something about “Diva” and it “isn’t nice to pull my beard” and left without giving me a new family. How dare he? I have catitude and know what I want. That is peace and quiet, and lots of treats. Nothing wrong with that.

Anymeows, I figured I’d take my chances with the Easter Bunny instead. He hops around and throws eggs all over the place without asking about naughty or nice. You can bite someone and still get an egg! If anyone could get me a home without wanting too much in return, it would be him. Nope. Nothing. I got some treats, but no new humans to admire me. He’s obviously just as bogus as Santa.

DIOR LOVES: Munching Friskies and Temptations treats, rolling in catnip, snuggling in a covered bed, perching up high to survey her kingdom, cat people who respect her space, minimal petting by invitation only!

Kids Hours is for children 12 and under and includes cat playtime, reading with cats, and a take-home craft project. Children are also encouraged to take a free book home from Read to Sydney and Kiwanis Club of Clermont’s lending library.

Since 2011, Read to Sydney has encouraged children to read, “One tail at a time,” using therapy dogs in settings such as schools, libraries, and other community events. The partnership with the Orlando Cat Café has allowed Read to Sydney to expand into the feline side and all organizations are excited about the partnership and inspiring children to read. The cost is $8.00 per person and reservations are highly recommended and can be made online at www.orlandocatcafe.com. Donations of new books are always welcome and can be dropped off at the Orlando Cat Café.
