Service Cat and Therapy Cat: Not da Same

Published on by Service Cats U.S.23 Comments

OMC Meez got so many nice comments and lots of new followews. Fank you Sammy fur sendin’ evewpawdy meez way. 🙂  

Anyways, you’s all wanna heaw ’bout  what meez and  sis Lexi  du fur mommy and how we’s lewned.  so, as purromised meez stowy will stawt Munday. But afuw we’s can stawt dat we’s need tu cleaw a foo fings up and giv you’s sum descwiptions and a little back stowy.  So fuw da nex foo days meez will be tellin’ ’bout mommy’s fiwst evew service kitty and  da diffewence in a “Service animal” and a “Therapy animal.” So, fiwst fings fiwst.   A service animal is an animal dat is specifically twained tu do wowk or tasks fuw a purrsun wiff a disability.  In 2011 the ADA changed da wules and definitions yet agin tu say dat  only dogs  are recognized are service animals. Howevew cewtifications and licensin’ is not wequired. And any animal dat meets dis definition is considewed a “Service animal” or “Assistance animal.”  Often people confuse “Service animals” and “Therapy animals”  and fink dey are one in da same, but dat is not da case.

 

A “Therapy animal” is defined as an animal that has been twained in obedience and scweened fuw it’s ability tu get along wiff and be comfurtable  wiff humans and uddew animals.  Da main purrpose fuw a “Therapy animal” is tu purrvide comfuwt and suppowt and affection tu those in hospitals, nuwsin’ homes, schools, hospices, cwisis centews and da like.  Agin these animals are usually considewed tu be dogs. But many uddew species includin’ cats are entewin dis field.  You can visit da ADA, Fair Housing Act, Air Carrier Access Act, etc. fuw fuwthew definitions and rights. “Therapy animals” and der handlews hav no purrtections undew da law whereas “Service animals”  and der ownews du. Each state may also make and hav laws dat guvewn and affowd additional wights and purrtections, but you’s must check wiff each state afuw assumin’ anyfin’. 

 

Well now dat we’s got da business outta da way, da nex foo posts will be more fun. Tumowwow meez will tell you’s all ’bout Shad, mommy’s fiwst evew Service Cat. In da meantime, purrlease membew dat all of you fuwwy’s are special. And just cuz meez a Service cat dusn’t mean dat meez bettew den you’s or you’s fuwwy’s. It just means dat meez has a “JOB”.  MOL             So, Til da nex time, Hav a Pawsum Day!!

It stawdid wainin’ agin last nite afur we’s went tu bed, but it wusn’t hawd and wus just ’nuff tu make it humid and wawm.  So mommy turned on da fan so we’s kuld all be comfy and still bweev.  At sum point, da lectricity went off and mommy’ s alawm got shut off.  Now mind you da alawm is da bedwoom t.v..  Mommy likes tu watch t.v. while Lexi and meez giv her a meownin’ massage.  We’s hadn’t gone tu bed til almost 5 a. m. cuz of da stowm so we’s slep in til 10:30 a. m., and when we woke up…..MOL We’s wus all cuddled up tugeddew. It wus cold!!!! Ovew nite da temps had dwopped tu almost 20* and da fan had turned back on high speed (it’s default settin’ aftew a powew outage). Mommy wus fweezin and Lexi and meez wus so close tu mommy dat you’s kuldn’t tell where one began and da uddew ended. MOL Aftew a good meownin massage, we’s wolled mommy tu da chair and intu da pawdee box woom and den tu da kitchen fur bwekky. 🙂

While we’s ate bwekky mommy checked da emails and den we’s checked in on our furiends. And OMC meez got nominated fur an awawd.

MOL  Mommy mite fink is ovew sleepin, but as kitty cats dat like tu sleep, we’s weally enjoyed da extwa time snuggled up tu mommy. 🙂  Den meez had so many nice new visitows tu meez blog and meez visited sum new furiends blogs tu. Meez felt so special tuday. Mommy sez meez and sis Lexi are always special. And she’s must be wite cuz hers luvs us  vewy much. You’s know meez sisfur Lexi’s Meowday is at da end of da munf and so dis is her time tu be extwa special.  So meez gunna share meez new furiends wif her,  and she’s gunna share hers special Meowday noms wif me.  🙂 Which she’s gunna be havin’ cuz awnty Jennifer sendid a gift cawd tu da Pizza Hut fur her.
