Reply #10: Bah! I had adopted one of these cats FOR FREE

[Lorien]

but, he was far from "good tempered" and I would never had trusted him around children. He also ate a diet of raw meat, not supermarket cat food (hell, I won't even let my domestic cats eat supermarket pet food-it's like letting a family member live on twinkies and Pepsi). He would be a friendly lovekitty one moment and a rip-your-face-off hellcat the next. The problem with these cats is that they only ever bond to one person-the person who raised them. They have no use for anyone else and can't be re-homed without a huge time commitment (years of patience). They are very, very intelligent and can figure out drawers, locks, doorknobs...you name it. They are easily bored and will chew almost anything to bits if left on their own for very long. It's like living with a troubled perpetual two year old.

He's back with the woman who raised him now. But if anyone here thinks that they want to take him on as a pet, then go ahead and PM me. She would still like to find him another home.





That's a DOG crate beside him:
