Buddah Cat at the animal shelter

We stayed inside the house most of the day & just wanted to get out so we went to the local animal shelter to visit the animals. A few of cats that were happy to see us and allowed us to pet them through the hole in the plexiglass, Nobody else was in the room so we obviously ignored the big signs posted on each cage that said do not stick fingers in holes. 




The cage nextdoor to this fellow housed a very overweight cat I am calling Mr. Buddah Cat. He was laying down on his side & then he got up. I guess he wanted to see what all the action was about when we were talking to his chatty neighbor. We tried to get him to come to the hole but all he did was stare down or look toward the side of his noisy neighbor. 



We saw some friendly guinea pigs. They were very entertaining and seemed to not mind being petted. They were quite possessive of the light greenish/yellow plastic igloo house that was in the cage. It was funny to watch because whenever one was in the house and the other would try to enter, the one in the house would charge at the other one at full steam attempting to headbutt him. The one in the igloo finally came out to get a drink & that is when the other one took advantage of the opportunity & went inside. And the whole headbutt game was re-started. 



Surprisingly, there were less than 10 dogs at the shelter and 4 of them were already adopted. Last time we visited I remember every kennel was filled with at least 3-4 dogs. Happy to see that they are being adopted.
