[QUOTE=tkrik;317695] DD16 laughs as when she would go to pick him up he would hiss and purr at the same time./QUOTE]

Lol, he momentarily forgot that he is a fierce wild cat! One of my TNR ferals will meow at me and then hiss as I bring his dinner out and it always makes me laugh too.

Bless you for opening your home and heart to this little guy. He hit the kitty jackpot. Hugs, Jules

that's so fun! Where's the pics? We want pics!!!

Just one question: Why would you name a kitty after a hemorrhoid product?
.

We are leaving soon for vacation.

My son's cat tends to want to bite...when playing, but she doesn't break the skin.

She also did very objectionable things when she came into heat... he was unprepared for poop in the bed ! I wonder why? LOL

anyway, that seems to be fading away, with time.

So please get Tux neutered before those male spraying behaviors start. With feral/wild cats, that is a huge downside.

The upside is that they are very clever, smarter and in general very interesting!

[QUOTE=Jules A;317944]LOL. When DD18 was trying to pick out names we decided to check out some names on the web for ideas. We cracked up at the name Terminator as here was this little tiny innocent kitten that ran if you walked in the room and hide under the couch.

She came up with Tux on her own but had he been a she DD18 would have named her Basil.

Twink, that comment coming from one who named a bird Maxie! LOL.

I'll post some pictures once I find them. DD18 and her camera. Sheeze. My computer is loaded with them. LOL

Here is Tux on his 1st night with us and then about a week later. The one where he is on the white blank is his 1st night with us. Again, once he is awake. I take some pics.

He's just gorgeous Tkrik!!

He looks like he might have part Maine Coon lineage by his color and fur? Oh, what a cuddlebug!

We got our cat Rocky from the local TAILS shelter. He'd been a kitten from a hoarding situation, and he was six months old when I brought him home. Now he's our substitute grandchild.

As promised, here are some updated pictures of Tux. I took these this morning with lots of waiting and patience as he is so playful this morning. It is hard to get those action shot.

He loves to play by the drop leaf table as you can see in the pictures.

DM - I will ask DD18 if she can give Tux a middle name in honor of your cats. Maybe Tinky or Ippy? What do you think? I am sure she would do that as that is the kind of girl she is.

Wiz - I am so glad you rescued Rocky. I didn't know what a Maine Coon looked like so I had to google it.

They are huge!!! If he has some Maine Coon in him I hope it is only a tiny bit as in just his coat. LOL.

DD16 swears he is part bobcat because of his ears and his stomach being a cream color with spots. Living in the desert that is quite a possibility.
.
Maybe DD18 should ask the vet about it at his next check.

He's adorable! And yes, he looks like he's part Maine Coon. I know ya'll are enjoying him. They're so much fun when they're playful kittens. My Tigger is still very playful even though he's not a kitten any longer.
