Mow, Head Clinic Cat

When he is not busy with his modeling career,(you may recognize his work in local publications), he calls Union Vet Clinic home.  A familiar presence, Mow effectively manages his hectic daily schedule of sun-napping, greeting patients, and begging for food.  He is known for his unnatural ability to ply himself into the smallest of “cozy” spaces, and his general machismo.  A free-spirit to the core, Mow made his way through several homes before coming to Union.  Even so, he is admittedly “too much cat” for a small place like Union, so occasionally he will simply work the doorknobs and let himself out to wander the back.
