Therapy Cat Pinecone Brings Calm to School Hallways
Pinecone, a certified therapy cat owned by art teacher Kayleigh Smith, visits his school twice a week wearing a bright yellow vest.
The cat’s calm temperament and friendly nature make him a good fit for the school, which had previously welcomed a therapy dog.
During his visits, Pinecone roams the art room and hallways, greeting students and offering a moment of calm for those feeling stressed or overwhelmed. His permanently serious expression adds a humorous contrast to his gentle interactions.
