At first we called her the UFO, unidentified fuzzy object & she was basically wild. It took years to do this, but let no one tell you that it's impossible to tame an adult feral cat. It just takes a lot longer, like training a serval or a bobcat to adapt to human behavior.Oh, & did I mention how smart she is? She DOES recognize herself in the mirror, will hide TV remotes under the same thing that her toys for knocked under when she can't find them & can open closet doors and bedroom doors, a real problem solver.Biologists will completely deny that any non-primate can do this. They haven't met Nyx.[MEDIA=youtube]OSlpVtrXeWg[/MEDIA]This is also why I use enclosures built like Fort Knox & not deli cups among other reasons.  I had to tie tarantulas in there somewhere.</blockquote>
