On the last Monday of November, I drove my wife down to Ft. Lauderdale, Fl, to see a specialist. The trip was successful for my wife.

I parked behind the medical building that was my wife’s destination next to its back entrance. As I exited my car I happened to notice the cat shelter that one or more employees in the building had placed on the back entrance. The shelter provides a way for a cat to get in from the rain. Along with the shelter the staff put out bowls of food and water.

I was really touched by seeing this, as I’d never seen anything like that before, especially up where I live in Orlando. A little humorous touch was the guard cat on duty sign behind to the right and just above the cat shelter, on the inside glass.

When I see something like this, it makes me feel a sense of hope that maybe the human race isn’t such a sadistic species after all.
