Cat Caretakers

"MAKING ROUNDS WITH OSCAR"

  REVIEWING A BOOK ABOUT AN EXTRAORDINARY CAT:  MAKING THE ROUNDS WITH OSCAR

 

Oscar, seemingly an ordinary cat, seems to have extraordinary perceptions.  His story is told by Dr. Dosa, a gerontologist who cares for patients with advanced Alzheimer’s in a nursing home.  Families of the patients share their experiences and emotions as caretakers, sons, daughters, husbands and wives of Alzheimer’s patients who, after a lifetime of learning, working and raising children are now unlearning.  They are unlearning how to get home, how to dress and undress – everything that we do that we take for granted every day.

WHO WILL CROSS OVER THE BRIDGE FIRST -- CATS OR CAT-CARETAKERS?

My big brothers, Tigger & Charlie Brown.  They aren't here anymore.

This is my big brother, Tigger & his big brother, Charlie. They 'crossed over the bridge.'  Meowmuh wants us to be taken care of if she gets sick or 'crosses over the bridge' before we do.  So, click on her Article "Cat Caretakers: Make a Plan" to the right under "MEWS 'N NEWS."
