I practiced scruffing him and picking him up like that, and he is ok with that. the open right- side up cat carrier is waiting closeby! Karkat wont go near a trapping cage, he has seen too many of his siblings get caught when they needed attention.
I have been caring for a 12 cat colony for seven years, through illness or death only Karkat is left. His outdoor home is near my office in a wooded area off a parking lot where I have created a bed and feeding area for them
Karkat is truly gentle and loving, luvs to be petted and picked up...
