Cat Bites Won’t Stop Billy Graham

Posted by Kevin D. Hendricks on March 5, 2009

If you ever needed a reason to hate cats, this may be it: Billy Graham’s cat keeps biting him. The Ashville Citizen-Times gave an update on Billy Graham’s health, from his grandson, Will Graham.

“He’s 90—I think that’s about the best way to describe it,” said Will Graham. “He has good days and bad days.”

Will Graham added that an electronic stunt has made a marked difference in Graham’s health. He also added that a cat given to Billy Graham for his birthday has been continually biting his hands. Graham, a dog lover, has tolerated the cat:

“He said, ‘That’s OK—it lets me know I’m still alive,’” Will Graham said.
