Concert at Raphael House

On a sunny July evening, the Catexpress Boat No. 3 departed for a Kitty Island round trip with 56 felines onboard, 9 crew members, and most importantly, with the captain Isabella from Raphael House, Maryland. Ever since Nathan has resurrected this lucky cat, she has been pursuing the dream of becoming a captain. She wants to sail on the high seas, with her happy passengers on her cruise ship. She has been testing and studying very hard to get her boat license, and after a few months of successful tests, she not only got her license, but found a contract for Catexpress to pilot the Boat No. 3. Today was her big day; a 150-mile round trip journey to Kitty Island. With the Music and Love concert getting ready to live stream on the ship's 8K TVs, Isabella sounded the horn and started the propellers to depart on their journey. "Good morning, my felines. This is Captain Isabella speaking.” Isabella announced. “On behalf of the Catexpress cruise line, welcome aboard the Boat No. 3!!! We thank Music and Love for sponsoring our voyage, and their young musicians will be playing to us from the Raphael House in Maryland with our fellow senior friends on site enjoying the music! We are delighted to be playing this concert live on the waterslide plaza on deck 5! Enjoy the trip, and we hope you have lots of fun!!! Meow" With this, the gigantic TVs turned on and everybody saw Allie striding confidently up to the stage to play her stunning piano piece. For the whole 7-day journey, the cats and the seniors at the house listened to Sarah's solemn La Folia, hummed to Samuel's playful piece while taking a hot tub, and many more of these phenomenal pieces were performed! Of course, the voyage had to come to an end, and after a fun day at Kitty Island and a musical journey home, Isabella thought about her senior friends and how nice they were to her. "Look at these cats enjoying the music my friends played! I feel so good that my dear seniors get to listen to these amazing pieces almost every weekend!" Isabella's voyage ended on a high note, and she came back to the Raphael House garden to sleep when she caught Eilleen and Irene playing that final song of Isabella's Lullaby. With the excellent background music of her favorite song and her senior coming out to give her food and a blanket, Isabella felt that she had a great week. She closed her eyes and sleeps soundly…To another Isabella adventure the next day. Thank you, Music and Love!!! (Reported by Aric Deng)
