...he shimmies under wire to make a break for the motherland, bravely squarely faces retreat - sharpwitted - escapes - cleverly incites arguments - vanishes

sometimes triage requirements help determine if a cat will b comfortable enclosed in environments w/people having been bred wild and tricked into a shelter. unwise to dismiss the protocol/hierarchy of a colony knowing what happens when an alpha or queen is captured fixed and returned to the wild - rules of the colony still apply, having lost status he/she is likely to b shunned or fought off and deprived of food for the greater good as determined by the new alpha. the lifespan of an intact cat in the wild is 3-5 years w/minimal intervention. {valentino (above) an x-feral age 7 is living proof that rehabilitation works.}
