He was obviously domesticated and not wild. I think he was abandoned, actually. He was an easy one since he welcomed being held and petting. Velvet still has never accepted a pet or playful ear scratch. And a few like Samantha. Cinder and Domino will let me pet them but not pick them up, yet. It's hard to break the wild ones! And Velvet is their mother, who taught them well to be leery of humans....even though they have lived here since their birth! They're slowly coming around, though!Betsy Brockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807795605763246015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-79237495836841800532015-03-05T14:25:20.821-05:002015-03-05T14:25:20.821-05:00:) :) Betsy Brockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807795605763246015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-85826431885127177032015-03-05T12:27:13.704-05:002015-03-05T12:27:13.704-05:00How sweet.

Sometimes a feral will come around and our cats just go crazy....all kinds of hissing and crying...it's obvious that they do not approve and will not accept him. Other times, they seem to know them....and don't make much fuss, and seem to know they need help. They did that with cocoa and slate, and they did that the other night with this one...more curious than upset.
