Wow, that was the longest thread I'd read yet but definately worth it !!!

Glad to hear your doing such a marvelous job with Joey, it takes a helluva lot of time and patience to befriend a feral but worth every bit of time spent. I remember rushing my RB Jock and I tried to lift him far to early and wow did he take a chunk out of my arm, 6 months later I pratically couldn't go anywhere without my shadow. Then you had to physically lift him off you so you could actually move off the sofa, plus the cheeky chap used to worm his way under the covers and up the bed through the night (he really did like his home comforts and of course loved his mum!!). My other cat Bonnie is also very cuddily and sooky now, she still doesn't like being lifted but will happily snuggle up to you on her terms !!

Keep up the good work

ps both Bob and Joey are absolutely gorgeous, no wonder your a proud dad
