Well seeing mine is a spiteful little **** who looks at you then backs into a corner to "pretend' to **** for attention then when you go him he runs off nooking.

Watch them always!

But seriously, teach them not to bite from the start, I flick mine on the nose when he bites but others just say no really loud. And most people say when they bite you you have to choke them to get them off, you don't have to, just stick your finger in their mouth. Mine will bite strangers still but not my family, but okay with kids.

To fed them meat you have to give it to them at the start. Mine eats kitten food, they need cat food with the most protein, he likes red meat and hates chicken unless its cooked.

He use t live inside but only used his litter when he wanted, They love corners to go in. He lives in a cage now. You can litter train them but he likes to go where he wants.

If you want a girl and don't breed her, when she comes in heat she will bleed out, so desexed here when you can. With boys they stink more when they have balls, mines de-balled. Only wash them once or twice a month. other wise they will stink more. And trim claws often.

Awww they're adorable! I have a cat too.

Is it okay to keep em in a cage but let them run around in the yard sometimes? I wouldn't leave one out in my yard because a lot of coyotes and alligators come into my yard at night... but I wouldn't want to leave one in a cage all the time, and I certainly wouldn't be able to have one running around pissing and ******** all over the place, that'd be AWFUL.

Do males smell worse than females? Also, why do males smell worse when their balls are intact? That's a bit odd...

If they get out and get lost they wont come back they have no sense of direction. And the balls thing i just a male thing, he'll want to breed and such so he'll let out more of a smell.
