In the parking lot of the Guitar Center at One Hundred Oaks, Nancy Douglas, a sergeant with the Vanderbilt University Police Department, is peering into a sewer grate.
âI told Lewis, I said, âGet ready for your close-up. Weâre heading to Hollywood.â â
Lewis is a cat who lives in the shopping center parking lot, and for the past year, Vanderbilt police officers â tasked with patrolling the nearby Vanderbilt Health facility â have been feeding him. Douglas has formed a bond with the feline that seems like love. I lean over the grate, and the golden eyes of an orange tabby stare up at me.Â
