International Cat Day

We had a great afternoon celebrating International cat day. The residents took part in a quiz on YouTube ( Which was quite tricky) followed by some cakes with little card cats on. We talked about our cats looking at the pictures on the board. Coral made some little cat shaped biscuits for everyone to enjoy too.

Did you know that cats have 32 muscles in each ear, allowing them to turn them 180 degrees to locate sounds

Coral’s baby chicks

Coral has recently welcomed some baby chicks into her family. On Saturday, she brought them into Croft for a visit. The residents spent time holding and stroking them which brought lots of happy smiles. Bringing chicks into a care home setting is one of the most effective ways to spark joy and light up a room. It is a multi sensory experience that combines the soft tactile sensation of the downy feathers with the gentle rhythmic cheep cheep sounds that can be very soothing.
