Riley Introduces Dr. Karen Mitchell


HELLO!
My name is Riley!  As some of you may know, I am Care Animal Hospital’s resident clinic cat.  You may be wondering what a clinic cat does.  Well, let me tell you... it’s not an easy gig.  Most people think it involves a lot of treats, attention, and naps, but I am here to tell you there is a lot more to it.  For instance, the doctors can keep pretty messy desks.  So when the paper work piles up, I make sure to help out by filing all important documents on the floor.  I take great pride in keeping laps warm through the winter months, and I've been known to help with paper work by walking across keyboards.  Even though my schedule is pretty full, I have agreed to take a few moments each month to give you a behind the scenes look at Care Animal Hospital, discuss animal related topics, and answer any questions you may have. 

I would like to start off by welcoming a new member to CAH.  As many of you know Dr. Harris left the clinic a few months ago, which was quite upsetting for me.  It had taken me months to train her properly.  I can’t tell you how many extra meals I got from her simply by harassing her.  It was a beautiful system.  I would sit on her computer and meow at her incessantly, and then --POOF!-- my bowl would be full.  But now I have to train a new doctor all over again.  Her name is Dr. Kristen Mitchell and she originally is from Michigan.  She worked in Brighton, Colorado for the past 9 years before joining CAH.  She is in the process of moving to Golden where her feline companions are building a house for her, her husband and two children.    Thankfully, as she lives with three cats, she is pretty well trained already.  I am pretty sure she will give me extra food if only that stingy Dr. Gilbert will show her where the food is.  He says I am overweight, but I say there is just more of me to love.  Anyway, back to Dr. Mitchell...  I am pretty excited with my new friend and hope that all of you will help me welcome her into the CAH family.  Please stay tuned for my next installment where I will discuss the cleaning power of cat drool on iPhones.  Until then…

Stay Classy, Colorado
