British Billy
British Billy
Billy the Cat (aka British Billy) lives in Elveden, a local village about ten miles from RAF Lakenheath. Billy has been around a bit. He came from a rescue centre and prefers not to dwell on the past. He is proud of his country and its heritage and counts his friends and family as hailing from all corners of the British Isles. He is proud to be a "moggy". Many of his American friends and admirers ask Billy about the things puzzling them about life and culture in the U.K., and if he doesn't know the answer, he has ways and means of finding out. Feel free to send him any questions, and when he isn't sleeping or hunting, he'll try and put a few thoughts together to help you out.
