Well, the stud deal is gone after Trouble got neutered. He was born in the dirt next to my front stoop and after a trip to my garage became a house cat with his mother and siblings. He's only been out of my house a few of times to see Dr. Wallach. He's been innoculated and treated for garbage he never had and had his BBs removed. His blood tests have all come back negative.
This guy is about 16 pounds now and is probably the nicest beast I have ever met. Trouble is rambunctious but he's kind to his mother and little sister and goes nuts with joy when you pet him and "rub him up". His claws never come out when you pet him.
But he's always interested about the "outside". He'll perch at a window and watch the outside world for hours.
