Children reading books to homeless cats might be the cutest thing ever - PHOTO

A Pennsylvania rescue centre encourages kids to read to the cats as part of their ‘Book Buddies’ scheme – and as you can see from the pictures, the felines are definitely paying attention.Children aged six to 13 who are able to read at any level are invited into the shelter to read to the cats in the adoption room at Berks County Rescue League.The shelter claims that it offers kids a chance to practise their reading skills, whilst the ‘cats find the rhythmic sound of a voice very comforting and soothing’.Parents of children who have participated in the programme are full of praise for the scheme.‘I  want to thank you for giving my son the opportunity to participate in a programme such as this one,’ said one mother.‘I believe it truly helps him to not only read, but to help the animals who do not have warm loving homes, and that we must help speak up for the critters who do not have a voice.’Another mother added: ‘This was a great experience for both of us and we are looking forward to coming back soon. Thanks for all you do for the animals.’(metro.co.uk) ANN.Az
