This is George Raider Hamilton Clooney Fat Boy the Third. He’s the biggest baby of our cattery, always lounging, ever running from fights or confrontations with other males, always ready for a scratch on the belly. George likes to lounge in the chicken yard where he can be near the chickens. The Delaware hens sometimes will come up and peck him lightly, to see if he’s food, and George just accepts that as a part of life at Dragonwood. They are the same age, George and the Delawares, to within a few weeks, coming up on their first birthdays later this spring.

George has the most perfectly coifed fur on the farm. It has a nice mixture of colors, with just a hint of gray that gave him the Clooney/Hamilton parts of his name. The “Raider” part was his original name, after he gave us one of these looks (in the photo) and it reminded us of the evil or not so evil after all Cylon Raider starfighters in BSG. Fat Boy was added later, as he grew into his skeleton. There’s no hint of evil in him these days, despite this look, just pure kitten playfulness, laziness, gluttony and Georgeness.
