Back and side go bare, go bare*

Son and daughter-in-law have adopted a cat that looks like a creature from Heironymus Bosch's  Garden of Earthly Delights. Nuzzy was an abandoned pet whose fur became so matted during his period of neglect that it had to be shaved off leaving him with a tiny bare body. Judging by his ruff, his plumed tail and his furry boots he will be an exceptionally handsome beast when his coat regrows. He's already established himself as quite a presence in the house although his vigilance suggests he can't  believe his luck and wonders if it's all too good to last.

Extras - he's a bit weird  now but has great potential!
