Share to Google Classroom

A cat named Cilla has won a special award for helping students with exam stress at a primary school in Warwickshire, England.

Cilla, who was once a stray, became part of the school community about seven years ago. She comforts students, especially those in Year 6, during their SAT exams.

Cilla has won the “Connected Cat” award at the Cat of the Year Awards, run by the charity Cat’s Protection, for her calming presence. Headteacher Ms. Taylor says Cilla enjoys wandering into classrooms, sitting with pupils, and getting cuddles. She instinctively knows which students need extra comfort, helping them feel less anxious.

Not only does she bring joy to her school, but Cilla has also gained fans online, with over 26,000 followers on social media. People from all over the world send her gifts and messages, making her a true school celebrity.
