Billy the cat remains in quarantine, though his respiratory infection is slowly improving. When he showed up his breathing was like blowing through a wet rag and his eyes were oozing; now it just sounds like he’s stuffed up and his eyes have cleared up nicely. /he has become comfortable and affectionate with me.
I took Buttons, Speedbump and Banshee in to see him one at a time. Banshee turned into a hissing machine, which was no surprise whatsoever. Speedbump did the same, which was a bit of a surprise. Buttons, in contrast, could not be bribed to give a damn; he was just curious about the room. The presence of a new cat was of barely any interest.
