Dr. Watson
Clinic Cat. Dr. Watson arrived at the clinic in May of 2016. He came in as an injured stray and somehow became the clinic cat. His hobbies include: hunting flies, faking injuries for attention, stealing highlighters, opening bags of dog food, jumping over the reception desk like a ninja, taking naps, annoying the staff dogs, and really just being an overall nuisance. Dr. Watson has been a great addition to the staff.
