Memory Quiz - Cats & Dogs

Here is another Dementia Cafe Memory Quiz, this time about 'Cats & Dogs'. There are a few idioms for members to guess in the first round, some famous cats to identify and then some famous dogs. Finally, there are some song recommendations to help break the session up. Hope you like it. Some feedback about how this CST activity works in practice would be great.

ROUND 1. DISCUSSION

We asked members to come to the session armed with photographs of their pets, which they showed us and introduced their pets by name and breed to the group. We then discussed who is a 'cat person' or a 'dog person', or who indeed doesn't like either.

Next we discussed the good things about cats:

- Being able to leave them for a time.

And the not so good things:

- Bringing in birds and mice
