Dr. Pol's Last Kind Deed

Dr. Yan Pol loved cats. But his arthritis was making it difficult to get around and he knew he wouldn't always be able to take care of them. So he built one last droid and programmed it to take over the job for him. The pain in his joints was much easier to bare once he saw how well the droid, which he named Clack, cared for his cats.

When a strange virus wiped out the human race Clack adopted the other cats in the neighborhood. Many years passed but the cats on Apricot Street knew they could always count on Clack to be there for them.
