Allow me to introduce Sir Alonzo Bigglesworth!
We were not planning to adopt a kitty for quite some time. However, our next cat was going to be a Persian or a Sphinx, and this guy popped up. His owner’s blindness is worsening, and she felt she couldn’t care for him as he deserved. So, we got a two-year-old, fifteen pound Persian (not fat, just BIG) with all of his stuff. He is very laid back, and lays low, and so far seems to be making himself at home.
We renamed him Alonzo, based on an episode of Doctor Who (series two), then added the last name, and I decided he must have been knighted at some point.
I just feel very badly for his previous owner, I can’t imagine living alone and having to give up my kitty.
