Veterinary Secrets Pet of the Week

These pictures were sent in by Judy who remarked how her cat Mowgli looked similar to my cat Cleo. First Thanks for the kind words Judy, and I love your pictures!
Dr Andrew
Mowgli was abandoned near my home when just a little guy.
In the second picture, the gray cat with him is Mr Minxy who
found him in my yard and brought him into the house!
They have been attached at the hip ever since.
Minxy is 13 and Mowgli 5 so I rue the day when they have to be separated by one's passing.
