When I lived in Rancho Cordova there was a young male who was darling.
He reminded me of Sylvester and he would come around and if he spied me outside he would race up and rub and rub and purr, BUT if I reached down to
pet him he would scratch. I was getting mixed messages from him
My next door neighbor Jill said same thing.
Had he not been that way, I would have seriously thought of taking him in,
but just did not want a cat with a complex.......
:D
