Existing with a cat like Billy means preparing for some of his occasional moodiness; sometimes, a little tenderness is needed from him as it can be tough on his paws. Despite this, he's bursting with personality, enjoying playful rolls and begging for pets. His affinity for catnip is a delightful sight to see.
