    DahliaBliss Feral.. or a stray? i don't think you can get a \feral\ cat that tame in 8 days. Not all strays are feral.

    Tho maybe my understanding of what feral means is wrong... AND also the cat and doggo are both cutie patooties.

    OP Cornloaf You are probably right about that. There was no mother around and he was eating trash with his sister. He was just hissing and spitting (never experienced that before) and using his claws and teeth to mess us up.

    We had to keep him caged for a couple of days and our local cat lady said when he finally came to the door when you open it, he's ready to roam.

    OP Cornloaf No. I am trying to find a foster for her. She's a beautiful calico and I never had one of those either!!

    OP Cornloaf Yes! He was in his cage in the attic bedroom. We have three adult cats and the dog so wanted a slow intro. So far the meanest of my cats is the most interested and has tried to groom him. My daughter's disabled cat (cerebellum hypoplasia) keeps trying to fight him but he falls over when he raises his front paw to smack him.

    GizmoSled Good luck, looks like he has thumbs! Every cat that I've had that had extra toes caused extra chaos.

    OP Cornloaf We also just lost our black polydactyl around the same time as our dog. Shortly after we adopted him, I was making bagels. Looked over and he opened the cream cheese tub with his catcher mitt hands and started eating. He was a wonderful cat!

    OP Cornloaf Everyone warned me about orange kitties. One of my good friends that is basically a "cat lady" said her and her husband have a rule of no orange kitties allowed.
