Dr. Cat!

Today we had to write about a "role model" veterinarian for us, or someone that inspires us to be the best as we could be. And like some of you, I haven't someone in my mind right now...well, I do, but I don't have the required information starting by the photo (I'm talking about my cat's veterinarian, she's the beeeest).
Ok, now I have someone in my mind: Louis J. Camuti, and he's the first cat vet.

there's no photo of him, but I think this painting
 shows him very well.

I love penguins and I also love cats, I would like to heal cats and penguins but..is there any cat in Antartica? or penguin in...yes, there are penguins on the beach. but I like cats and this man Liked them too:
He was born from french immigrants, and they worked all day to survive in the New York of 1893.
And when he was a kid, he suffered of typhoid fever that left him bedridden under he's mother cares all time for anyting he needed. And one day as he was sleeping in the afternoon, he's mom went to a neighbour apartment for a quick visit and inadvertently left a pot of food on the stove (it was On) and naturally started to burn. Back to the Louis bedroom, we can see him and his kitten, and this last one woke up Louis (God knows why) warning him of the dangerous smoke. And that day he decided to dedicate his life for cats. Even if World War I had place on he's studies, it didn't got him away from his real passion. Through the years he became into a famous cat veterinarian but he didn't wanted to leave New York because if he did, who will look after his patients? But at the beginning not everything was pink colour.He had to start with all kind of animals because if you wanted to attend just one kind of animal it has to be a horse or a dog, cats didn't gave you money enough for your family. But finally I want to aclare that he was the first Doctor Cat! I mean -Cats only-
