This is an illustration of just how wild at heart cats really are. They surely aren't "domesticated" like other animals that man has modified. They don't differ at all from their wild cousins. In fact, they can interbreed, which shows that their genetics haven't changed at all. If we miss that brief window of socialization time they have as a kitten they will never become a people-oriented animal. They can learn that people are not a threat (which is probably what they have been to him, all his sad solitary life), and if a little taming gets him a job on rodent patrol somewhere that's great. Here's hoping that Meeker gets a safe home where he'll be happy. And a more appropriate name, like Tiger!The Calico Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772374749065425388noreply@blogger.com
