Mews and Nips: Meet Elwood, Hospital Security Guard Cat

A hospital in Richmond, Australia has a unique security guard: his name is Elwood, and he is a cat. He even has his own “official” badge. When Elwood first started appearing on the hospital grounds, staff assumed he was a stray, but he actually lives across the street. Much to the delight of hospital staff and patients, he takes his “job” seriously and comes to work each day. For more about Elwood and photos of him on the job, visit MyModernMet.com.
