Tabbies are all so different! Is Lorien your dark tabby? I think Ghost is sort of a Siamese/Tabby. His coloring is so different! I don’t think he’ll ever let me pet him though. Came close the other day. I put my hand out when fixin’ta feed him, and he almost touched my fingers with his nose, but he hasn’t repeated it.
I don't know what to call Ghost's coloring/markings. Our Piper is colored and marked like is and has the blues eyes as well. I'd never seen a cat like that before.
However the two got their coloring, it's really pretty and unique. We both got lucky. :-)
Patience is the key. It took me two years to tame a couple of ferals who showed up here years ago but it finally happened. And when it did, they were the sweetest fellers. You'll gain Ghost's trust eventually.
