I shot some pictures of the flower without the foam board, and the background was a mess. I tried cloning to clean it up, and that was a disaster. I went back and took the board, and it was better, but this one is too complex to really handle well. Boo is male, and has a similar history to your group. He wandered around the neighborhood as a homeless cat for a while, and, because of the long hair, and his reluctance to be handled, we didn't realize he was severely undernourished. He found a home when he replaced a recently departed Springer Spaniel at my neighbors' house. They took him to the vet, got him fixed, and he is their pride and joy. He is now somewhat overweight.
