A stray cat managed to win his way into our hearts last year, so I took him to the vet to get him “made special.” The receptionist asked, “What’s his name?” I said, “He doesn’t have a name.” So she looked at him and said, “How about Bill?” I said, “Umm…no I don’t think he’s a Bill. Have you ever heard of Bill the Cat?” She said, “Umm…I think so. Is he on TV or something?” (She looked about 18.) I said, “Let’s just call him Buddy.” And Buddy he is to this day. And a sweetheart, once we taught him not to pee on the bathroom mat. Our store-bought cats occasionally cough up a hairball, but I’ve never caught Buddy at it.
The sound a cat makes while coughing up a hairball will send me bolting out of bed from the deepest slumber shouting, “Outside! Outside!” while snatching up an extreemly startled feline in mid-barf.

For those of you who are gross the most and have no class at all there is the symbol of what you stand for. All hail Bill the Cat!

The other cat once gave Jon a Christmas present; “a hair ball?” “I made it myself.” !!!!!

My stuffed Bill the Cat is on the shelf next to me; I think Opus is in a bag in the garage…

Sorry, but Bill is my least favorite character, by a wide margin. He was best when he was dead – too bad he didn’t stay that way.

Interesting to see how the artwork metamorposed over the years–especially Opus and Bill
