ANN ARBOR, MI — In a delightful twist of campus life, Whiskers, the resident feline at the University of Michigan's School of Veterinary Medicine, has added "sand therapy" to his daily routine. Observers watched in awe and amusement as Whiskers donned his sunhat and waded paws-first into a new sand pit, constructed by the North Campus Turkey as a way to cope with the warmer months ahead.
Eyewitnesses reported that Whiskers approached the pit with the gravitas of a seasoned psychologist. The sight of the furry therapist rolling joyously through the grains, then promptly taking a nap, struck joy into the hearts of students, faculty, and curious squirrels alike.
"It's as if Whiskers is saying, 'Look, when life gives you litter, make art!' Assistant Professor Dr. Kat Barker quipped. "The therapeutic benefits of fluff-and-sand integration should not be underestimated."
To feline followers worldwide, the message is clear: life's messes might just be more manageable—and significantly more fun—when you embrace the chaos with a little sand between your claws.
