Trapped at a feral colony - hence the ear-tip. Hissing, growling, swatting - but not aggressive. Just oh, so very, very scared. So he received the swaddling treatment every evening and morning. Quite a talker. He has a lot to say.
This morning. Lots of headbutting and rubbing himself all over me.
Tonight, he goes to a friend who's going to be a first time foster mum. It will take him a day to re-settle down, but I hope no growling & swatting. She met him when he was still in the hissy stage. So it will go well. I hope!
