A stray cat called Cooper was a regular visitor to Liesel, a former staff nurse at the Cat Hospital. When he turned up wearing a mysterious cone shaped collar and sporting a very nasty gash on his leg, Liesel took him straight to see Clare.

As the mystery unraveled it turned out that Cooper had been leading a secret double life.
