I did not wake up this morning seeking or expecting to get another cat. Well, here we are:
Billy and his two siblings are strays who caught the attention of some friends who decided to rescue them. Given that the temperature will shortly be Damned Cold, the rescue effort was decided upon quickly. Unfortunately, one got away (hopes are that he/she will be picked up tomorrow), but two are now safely indoors. Above is “Billy” at the vet getting the first of several checkups and procedures. Fortunately he was found to be free of feline AIDS and leukemia, but he has an upper respiratory infection. Consequently he’s currently in quarantine. But all looks promising. He was a fur coated razorblade when first picked up (yes, there was blood), but he has calmed down a lot.
Yes, he looks a lot like Speedbump.

Congratulations on your new addition! I hope Billy fits in with the other cats. I was thinking he looks like Raedthinn.
Hello, Billy! You’re among friends now.
Looks hale. I would have clawed you as well over the moniker: “my name b…billy.”
