Also, the big cats don't interact with him at all. They eat with him, and share a nest with him, but they otherwise totally ignore him. No nose touching, playing, vocalized greeting. Nothing. They'll walk by him by inches like he's not there. The only reason this works is because his brother is one of them and wants him here.

Yes, Mikesch no longer needs to be herded into the spare room to be fed. He comes out after he hears me walk away after putting the food down.

He's still totally feral in the open. The best I can do is sometimes inch my way close while he's playing with a string, and then if I SLOWLY move my hand close, he'll bat my finger with his paw.

LOL, and the performance of somebody on her executive committee has obviously been less than stellar, and they're about to get an earful from the looks of it!
