Heres a link to my photobucket.
Ive had him about 3 weeks now.loves to be rubbed and scratched.hes jealous of my dog and they fight for my attention.
Boner my hound doesnt start the fights,just finishes them ,......so far.lol.
Otherwise they tolerate each other and do there own thing.peanut likes his belly and butt scratched and rubbed.acts like a spoiled selfish kid but pretty much stays out of trouble,when i leash trained him and was walking him down road last week,a cop drove by.yes there is a god!

His wild momma sorta house trained him but hes a permanent outside pig now.he pooped a few times inside but no big deal.swept and mopped it up.i just wanted him acclimated to our scents and sounds.he really liked laying next to me in recliner.like a small dog does.after 4 days i moved him outside tied to a leash but walked him daily,he walked on leash almost immediately but leash was a piece of electrical fishtake rope about 10 ft long,so he could kinda run loose from me but still had to go where i chose.i would tie it to a pole so he could root in different areas of yard.on 8th day he pulled off leash but i found him in yard and rattling dogfood brought him.i tied him but he got loose again so i gave up.he lives under my trailer house but comes out when he knows im around.it takes him about 5 minutes to realize im out.i think hes slow to wake up and is grouchy if you force it.

I used leather gloves to handle and pet those first 8 days.now hes no trouble really and i reasonably suspect not a biting threat to me.i caught him trying to bite wifes pants today but i think its more of hey i want attention.he did same thing to me when he was sitting with me in my chair,love bites!

Have a cat that does that love bite thing. Usually when you don't expect it!

Same here. Never know when the little SOB has had enough petting. He just sinks his teeth into my hand. I've only ever had this problem with purebred cats though. My shelter cats never bit or scratched me, and that is a fact.

I've had twelve cats throughout the course of my life. Four were purebreds and all were biters.
