Trouble, Clinic Cat

Trouble has lived in the clinic since 1995 and came with the clinic when Dr. Brown took ownership. She is hard at work every day doing her job. Her job consists of making sure no chair is unoccupied, no food is left out to spoil, and no one forgets how cute she is. When she is not working, she enjoys taking long naps, eating, and being adored by everybody. Trouble would like to thank her Ma and Paw for supporting her so much in her career.
