Where is CuddleCat?

I can't imagine any employer allowing a physician to tote around a transitional object during on duty hours. However, if she did engage in this behavior, we may yet see a mental defense.

And, just an aside, I wouldn't buy any, Dr brings soft toys to see you explanation. Actual health care professionals understand how germy soft toys are. They certainly wouldn't go out of their way to cross contaminate everyone in their path.

Gotta agree. What parent would take their child's favorite toy to the hospital, medical office, etc. KNOWING full well of the germs the toy could attract and germs that it would bring home. That is an assanine excuse.


Was it ever confirmed that Kate actually said this?

I have asked this as well. I wonder if it is a tabloid story. I just have problems with the validity of many of the news sources, and the so called "leaks".

Exactly how I feel Edwards20. I think whoever is leaking needs to put a plug in it for a while...at least until proven facts about Maddie are released.

I so want some confirmation of all that is being said. Something...anything.
As you said philamena we learned too much with the Natalee Holloway case.

KM is a part time General Practitioner. GPs on the UK tend to wear casual clothes, not scrubs, as they work in doctors' surgeries and visit patients at home. In the latter case, a GP is almost certainly going to come into contact with dead patients, generally in their homes, where the GP would be called to complete a death certificate.

I for one do not know where the story about the cadaver dogs alerting on CuddleCat came from, nor the one about KM's alleged explanation that she took the toy to work with her. I presume the stories are alleged to have come from a source close to KM following her last interview but also that they are unattributable and therefore less than 100% reliable.

I've searched the net for articles on cadaver dogs to try to find out how long a scent would be detected on clothing after contact with a dead body and after the clothes had been washed. So far I have drawn a blank. I will keep looking. If anyone has any answers to these Qs, please post.

That's what I would think, not necessarily scrubs, but not necessarily super casual clothes. I have a job that allows for fairly casual clothes, but I still have clothes like Kate wears in public--the camisole tops, the casual capris--that I would never wear to work.

My guess is again, it would be fairly expensive and difficult for the average trainer to run a test on how long the cadaver scent remains (as opposed to how early.) I bet you that Quantico and the FBI have a much better idea, and quite possibly, the British equivalent as well.

Sure would be nice to know how many other doctors come home with cadaver scent permeating their clothes and belongings.

Do doctors in the UK not wear scrubs as much as doctors in the U.S.? Does Kate McCann really take clothes she wears to work on vacation with her--and does the scent remain?

I bet Quantico knows but isn't talking.

GPs over here don't wear scrubs, they just wear regular clothes. Even if they are working the GP shifts in the hospital, the very most they would have on is a white coat over their regular clothes. I would be suprised if she wore shorts and vest tops to work though.
