Billy came inside - his furrever home - on Nov 5, 2008. He was "a little over a year old." He is the sweetest, gentlest soul. He LOVES to stretch, to sleep on his back with his legs splayed out everywhere, to curl up on our laps, Gary's chest, and he LOVES to play with feathers.

Arrival Story:

Billy, his brother Bing, and their sister (who looked very pregnant) showed up one lovely summer morning looking every bit the part of feral kitty! First reaction to Gary was HISSSSSS and skittering away - except the pregnant little girl. She opened the door for her brothers to see we did not want to eat them.

Managed to crate them, get them to the vet for spay/neuter. ...except she went into labor that night! She had 4 beautiful babies, and thankfully we managed to find a foster home for them all (and she turned out to be a total and complete sweetheart). We had the boys ear tipped and released them.

They became so friendly very quickly. When we stepped outside, they'd show up in a matter of minutes (if not seconds). They were VERY close - and though they did not spend all their time together, they would walk pressed together, tails wrapped around each other.

We did not want to break them up. But adopting out kitties older than a year old that had been ear tipped was hard enough. We found a VERY loving home for Bing - but they could not take two - so - what was there to do? Billy took to being inside right away. We're sure he misses his brother as he tries to headbump all our other kitties. Sadly, they look at him like he's an alien. But he gets as many headbumps from us as he wants.

Favorite Food & Treats:

TURKEY. Anything. But he lived outside for so long he LOVES to eat anything he can steal off a plate when we're not looking. We even caught him eating intensely spicy hot soup!

FEATHERS and bugs. Anything interactive with feathers, or the Neko Flies Karantula. He goes completely bonkers for that crawly bug!
