It was finals week for students at Middlebury Institute of International Studies so Golden Oldies brought cats!
Foster cat-dad John brought Max, and adoptive cat-mom Gail brought Beau.
Judith was in charge of the table, while Margaret took videos and photos.
Each cat had his own “throne room” in which to receive his admirers.
At least 50 students came through to visit with the kitties!
They were so excited to see cats and so respectful of them. Max and Beau were AWESOME.
Everyone had a FANTASTIC time!
Margaret was very impressed!
“All of the students were so kind and respectful of the kitties and it was a great pleasure to meet all of them. I was truly impressed by each and every one of the students I met. They were so gentle with the cats, and that was so wonderful to see.”
 |  | It was so neat to see how excited the students were as they arrived in droves. ‘Cats??? Where are the cats??’ I saw them visibly relax from the stress of finals week — and that in and of itself is worth its weight in gold. Many of them said, ‘Thank you. I feel so much better now.’ | ||
 |  | Beau and Max had a constant — and captive — audience as students came and went. They got lots of chin, head, neck, chest and back scratches, and Max even let his toes be gently stroked. |
The cats were treated like stars — or like the gods they believe themselves to be!”
Will Golden Oldies go back to school? You bet!
Take a look!
