Hikari means "enlightenment" in Japanese. He was obviously enlightened enough to get himself rescued and adopted. He
followed my Mom and I one drizzly night when we were leaving a site. Mom said, "If he follows us to the truck, we'll take
him home." Not only did he follow, but when we opened the back of the Excursion, he literally hurled himself onto the dashboard
like an ornament. He fit in right away -- was even quite placid about having to have a bath. Ever since that night, he has
been best friends with Juliet, my gorgeous orange furball, and has been systematically trying to bulk up (ostensibly to defend
himself against Jade, the tiny, toeless terror who is the "alpha" cat) ever since.
He doesn't look nearly as fat as
he is -- what is he Marilyn reincarnated??
