PancakePancake came to Dr. Cordle's house as a foster with a large wound on his chest, but soon won over her oldest son, who talked the family into letting Pancake sleep in his bedroom every night. When KVVH opened soon after Pancake arrived, it seemed only natural to bring him on as the Clinic Cat. His favorite tasks include screaming at closed doors, begging for food, and drinking out of toilets. He also enjoys greeting clients at the front desk. |
