Wow, this is really a great name!!! Mikesch, I love it!! (maybe because I also have a lot of German blood in my veins!!)

Look at the picture 2 posts back at 8:32, when he was called Mikesch for the first time, and this one, 1/2 hour later. He already looks like he's decided the "magic word" was spoken here! I really do think they're aliens.....

tele_mark says:
He's purring like crazy when I pet him. It's over -- it's all just details now, but he's effectively tamed. Doerschein, my friend -- you're an angel! Just like that, from a continent away, you solved a big problem. This was the toughest feral cat taming I've EVER had in 14 years, you solved it in less than a day, just by finding him his true name! ! Bless you my friend!

....And then I brought a can of food into him a few minute's ago, and he hissed at me, for old time's sake, LOL!

tele_mark says:
He's licking my fingers and purring up a Storm, when I call him Mikesch!! This it too much!! it's like a switch was thrown! 11 hours ago he was hissing at me and had an expression on his face like I was Khadaffi!

I lol'd too! :-)

tele_mark says:
OMFG!!! He's purring, and grasping my finger in his little paw, when I call him Mikesch!! This is less than 12 hours after doerschein named him! If this isn't big, big news, I don't know what is!

Looks like a performer for Cirque du Soleil!!!

That's quite a cat tree!!

CrazyCatLaydee says:
That's the strangest looking cat. What breed is it?

tele_mark says:
A little tiny bit less wild in his eyes, since he got his name.

tele_mark says:
I chased Mikesch into the tent with Storm an hour ago. He's melting by the minute.......

tele_mark says:
Soon to be Mikesch, and Storm, barely beyond feral himself. Mikesch is a TINY bit less crazy than he was 1 week ago. Baby steps for baby cats.

tele_mark says:
I think Mikesch it's going to be! It'll be one of the most unique cat names in the US, and it'll have a story behind it to boot! And the fact that when I Google it for images, many cats come up that look like Storm, means it's his perfect name! Thank you for your help doerscheln! My father's intrigued by the name -- he's at home Googling everything he can about it!

This cat is beautiful. Yes, I'm partial to orange kitties.

Hi there Arnie. You're a good looking fella.

CrazyCatLaydee says:
LOL

tele_mark says:
All of your cats seem to be rescues of one sort or another. Bless you both!!

Wallie sounds so unique reading his profile.
