💜😻 Happy National Cat Day! Looks like the cats beat the dogs this year! Better luck next year, pooches.

Today, we are celebrating the kitties of our SoC students.

Scarlett Polk, a Writing, Rhetoric, and Info Design major, sent us photos of her four felines: Tiger (who loves to be brushed), Astra (who loves being held and hugged), Maple (who loves to play fetch), and Beauty (who is an old gal who loves to destroy things).

Rachel Freer, who minors in Communication, sent in Yoda, whom she has had since she was sixteen, when she moved to Arkansas from Michigan after being adopted.

Jocelyn Vega, a senior Communication major, has two kitties that helped her get her degree. Meet Elio and Ophelia (Feef).

Mila Lendermon, a Public Relations major, has the prestigious Sir Covington James, a mischievous tabby for whom pictures do not do justice.

Finally, Maddison Hamilton, a Communication major and Public Relations minor, sent in Chandler and Joey, two FRIENDS (ha, get it?), who appear to be very close by the look of their photo.

Team Floaters included Professor Sherry Skaggs, UCA Department of Sociology, Criminology, and Anthropology, Associate Professor Bailey Fairbanks, UCA Department of Government, Public Service, and International Studies, Professor Taine Duncan, UCA Philosophy and Religious Studies, and Lecturer Carmen Edington, UCA School of Communication.
