For example can an adult feral cat become unferal? Can a cat that absolutely hates other cats be conditioned to live with other cats? Can a cat that is extremely shy around strangers suddenly become outgoing? Do genes play any role?
These questions are just for general knowledge, curious if...
Well I've been reassigned to Boise Idaho, so I didn't bring my cat for what I thought was going to be something temporary. But I'll have to stay here another year.
