Welcome to "Meet the Mayor," a segment in which we interview local Foursquare Mayors in their natural habitats.

The Boston Cat Hospital
Elizabeth Sullivan

How did you become mayor of the kitty hospital?
We took our cat in for a lot of tests and treatments to find out what was wrong with her.

It's hard to believe it was only a year ago that unfortunate riders on the Green Line had nothing to look forward to but a cramped, jerky evening commute. Now we have a new mascot to make our day just that much brighter: a chubby, bushy-tailed furball by the name of Kenmore Kat. Take that, Red Liners!

For awhile, it seemed like the tale of the domestic cat living in Kenmore station was purely apocryphal, and Kenmore Kat was the type of legend only occasionally spotted by your friend's boyfriend's cousin's barista.
