Since Marlow returned home from his big adventure (see http://Marlow bolted), he is a changed boy. We have been working with the formerly feral boy for a couple of years. And now he is tamer than ever. He will now seek me out anywhere in the house and do his "pet me stretch". At lights out time in the evening he immediately comes to the bedside to get his "good night rub down". When the bedroom light goes out he hops up onto the bed for the night.
Lately I have been working extended hours with earlier start times so I go to bed earlier. Becky will be watching TV in the same room. Marlow "tells her" to turn the TV and light off so he can take his place at the foot of the bed. She says he won't shut up until she does. He will not climb on until the lights and TV are off. Of course I miss all this because I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.
In a few years I may be able to pick him up. Maybe not. Sasha, our other wild boy, won't allow picking up even after 5 yrs of indoors only.
I am adding a thread about Marlow in Behavior.
