 “my kitty has feral tendencies, but was found at about a week old and raised non feral by my friend. I have had him about two-three months, and he is mostly friendly in the middle of the night when I am sleeping (or pretending to sleep) as I LIVE for the times he "fixes my hair" His name is Rufio, and he still doesn't like petting so much, and likes to bite when I go to pet him.”

 

In fact he is making MY cats stay away bugging them so much he is SUPER ROWDY!!! I am crazy about him, but he takes some patience!! He was bottle fed, etc.

I myself dont think he has really feral tendecies, but he wasnt raised as part of a litter with a cat mom.  And thus, he is sooner non-educated, or at least, just half-educated.

So he isnt really friend with the others of your cats?  Please describe closer his relations with the other cats.

- I wonder, if they can teach him more Cattish.

Good luck!

Well, it's not that he isn't friends with them. He is just so rowdy that they go back outside when they see him. One puts up with and plays with him a little but not too much

I don't KNOW if he is feral, its just that I have had MANY cats and never have I run into one this crazy!!

A one year old cat is equivalent to a fifteen year old human, so think about how young he is compared to your other cats.  He wants to PLAY and they're probably not into that.  After he is fixed, he will calm down and may bond with some of your other cats.

He is definitely not feral (described as non-socialized to humans).  He's just young and full of energy!

Good luck with him - he's a cutie!
