We have Fister, a large orange European tabby, semi-domesticated.
We enticed him up into our flat when he was about a year old.
He is a loving, timid little guy, but still complains bitterly if we try to lift him.
No, hang on, he USED to be a loving, timid little guy, but is rapidly evolving into a loving, swaggering little TYRANT who is in the process of taking over our whole flat!
His journey has been well documented.

He is so SWEET though!
