Kids & Cats

The Bmore Humane October Kids Club meeting is all about cats.

Learning how cats use body language to talk to each other and their humans is just one of the agenda items for the Oct. 22 get-together.

After the meeting, the kids and their parents will get to read to the cats (and dogs) in the Baltimore Humane Society's shelter.

Sounds like fun! For information, visit the Bmore Humane website.
