Basil the Lion

So Basil was always an inside cat until he moved to Oregon, he stayed in a mostly climate-control environment all day, everyday. But now a whole new world of mice and birds has opened to him and he has grown himself a winter coat. I cannot believe how fluffy this cat is, I once thought he was fluffy, but that was only the beginning. I tried capturing it in a photo, but it just didn't work...he has like 10 inches of fluff all around his neck like a little lion's mane. He's a champ at catching things now too, and has brought home-in the house no less-all sorts of birds (bluejays seem to be his favorite) and numerous mice and shrews, nearly one each day. He's very proud of his kill, and I'm sure his new coat too!
