Butters! (Formerly Lil' Merc)

After terrorizing a midtown car dealership (!) this little feral fella was remanded to our custody. We're assimilating him into our colony, such as it is. He's showing great signs of liking the local cats, but his feeling towards people are still ambivalent. He keeps hissing at me, but if I bring canned food out, he is strangely receptive. There's still hope he will get more tame, but then again, if you were locked up in a cage, how nice would you be?

UPDATE! Merc is getting sweeter by the day, he's letting me pet him and he's purring and being generally playful. Maybe he should shoot higher than being a feral the rest of his life?

UPDATE II: He's in the house now, he's not feral at all! He was just spooked I guess, cuz he's the cuddliest little guy ever now.

UPDATE III: Merc as a name doesn't lend itself well so I'm calling him Butters now, both for his butterscotch color and because he reminds me of the South Park character.
