The Honorable Judge: Law Cat

Judge's claim to fame includes a rather unforgettable incident at our old office, where he was discovered with his head stuck in the wall. Fortunately, our resident superhero, Elena, came to the rescue and saved the day—an act of heroism that has since earned her the title of Judge's mom.

When he's not exploring the nooks and crannies of our office, Judge can often be found indulging in his favorite pastimes. He has a particular fondness for drinking water straight from the fishbowl, enjoys watching the antics of squirrels, and has a soft spot for kids. His favorite time of day is making his mom chase him around the office before he gets in his crate to go home.

Born without a tail, Judge has always embraced his individuality and quirky personality, proving that even without a tail, you can still be the boss.
