He's verrrrrry skittery, but we can pet him on his terms.

Sky was less than 3 months old when I grabbed him from behind the office where dipsticks were trying to kill him. He's still jumpy, 3 years later. But he's just left my lap to go nom from the big bucket. Later, he'll be curled up, cutting off circulation to my right leg, and in the morning, he'll be looking for my (now missing, sorry, interviews coming up) beard to rub against as I try to drink my coffee and smoke my morning smoke and check the news on FR.

But the affection is all up to him, and he's pretty happy these days. Beats eating bugs and avoiding dipsticks.

"Beats eating bugs My cat loves to eat bugs. June bugs, those big mosquito looking things, geckos, the occasional fly. It's all protein once it is the belly of a cat.
