Well, been a while reporting. (in some ways this is better than FB)

I'm down to the last of the 3 stooges. Ironicly like the humans Larry
is the last stooge standing, Shemp went first then Moe...now it's just
Larry. Last of a rarest of the rare litter wise. TRUE
triplets...that's why I named them after the stooges that fit the
personalities. <le sigh>

Because of his 1/4 feral I still can't handle him without gloves and
he's simply got to be watched closely when it's cage cleaning day.

Given the stories about prisoners 'taming' wild rats I'm surprised
genetics makes that much difference after all this time -- doesn't Larry
know that only wild*cats* are proverbially untamable? ;-D

No he doesn't. And yes you can tame a feral/ 1/2 feral cat. BUT it's
case of the cat choosing you and you accepting...otherwise it's just
another annoying feral that wont leave. 8^) BTDT got adopted the
little sob.
