Mascot

 

Name: Mascot
Position: SOLO Head Cat

My job at SOLO is, basically, rodent control. I work out of the shop at Toad Hall and cover the grounds around the dorm and boathouse. I get up to the main campus from time to time, but it is a long way and,  really, too much to expect one cat to cover.
        I catch mice, chipmunks, and squirrels, and either eat them or collect the protection money. There is a person from SOLO who checks on me every day and fills my food and water bowls in the shop. I forget what his name is– people all look the same to me anyhow. I have two imaginary friends, Bob, and Silas; but they don’t really like me. On the other hand, the people here really do like me– you should see the brand new litter-box they just built me!  It’s huge.  It seems like it’s  really a building all by itself down in the student parking lot filled with sand.  I wish they wouldn’t keep taking away my sand whenever it snows.  As head cat, I deserve a little respect.
