black short hairs are part Siamese, and Siamese cats are very social and people oriented. When I first noticed him outside, he was an ear-tipped TNR feral.

My Paris, who died last year, was a feral rescued as a kitten, and my Maine Coon Tortie, Tango, was a 10-week old feral kitten found in the warehouse district of Topeka, where there were several nests of feral cats.

My only non-feral, Lucy, is a lynx point Siamese mix whose mother was a regular tabby, but whose Siamese looks were inherited from her father. Lucy's mom, who belongs to my good friend, accidentally got out one week before her scheduled spaying and ended up pregnant. So Lucy wasn't adopted from the streets, but all my others were.
