My husband’s uncle celebrated his 91rst birthday in hospice last week and we tried to bring a little cheer.
.
.
The nurses are so wonderful at this facility…. they all gathered round, sang happy birthday and brought him a gift.
.
.
They also gave him a nice warm fleece blanket. Suitably decorated for a veterans hospital.
As he was opening our card, I noticed he had a new friend on the bed side table.
.
.
This furry little guy travels from room to room and visits with patients.
.
.
It sounds silly, but I think my husband’s uncle really liked it. And while he has a good steady flow of visitors… I can see this kitty being good company for those who don’t.
❤️

River's world..... 
That’s wonderful. Good job, all around.

So no candles on the cake? That explains the absence of a Fire Marshall in the room. 🙂

He’s been diabetic all his life but was always careful with his diet. That cat is a very welcome addition for a lot of patients.

Congrats to the Uncle! I’m glad he is surrounded by those that love and care for him. For a split second I thought that cat was the real thing, lol.

What a wonderful birthday celebration! Do they have animated dogs for the dog lovers? I would need one of each. 🙂 Mona

I’ve not heard of a companion cat and love the idea. Good of you to make your uncle’s birthday upbeat. 91 years seems amazing old to me.

And yet, when you’re there… I’m sure it’s not nearly old enough.

That’s sweet. I need to get one of those cats and bring it with me when we travel so I don’t miss the kitties as much.
