Zack King was always curious about where his cat Billy disappeared when he walked outside. The 1-year-old rescue cat comes and goes through his door flap as he pleases, investigating the area.
“He’s curious, feisty, and self-assured,” King told The Dodo. “He enjoys relaxing, and when he sleeps, he sleeps.” But he frequently comes in and out of his cat flap all day, saying ‘hello’ before going off to play and explore.”
Billy, King thought, spent most of his time alone, sunning and chasing mice. He quickly realised, however, that his beautiful pet was leading a double life.
Billy arrived into the home one early October day with a folded piece of paper wrapped in plastic wrap attached to his collar. King and his girlfriend Olga gently opened the paper, which revealed a beautiful note written by one of their neighbours.
“Your cat likes to come visit us while he’s outside,” it said. He’ll sit at the door and meow for someone to let him in. It’s actually quite amusing, and we adore him! We’re not sure where he’s coming from. What is his given name? Billy is his nickname. “Greetings from your pleasant neighbours!”
