Ebony the Cat
(MD in training)
Ebony's
main role is that of greeting clients as they arrive, often with a mournful
plea to be fed. Ebony likes to think she is the Managing Director of
the practice. While we would like Ebony to be in charge of the Complaints
Department, she lacks the listening skills required and prefers to play
in the cupboards and
torment the dogs.
