Bandit update
Isn't he still a cutie? He's made some progress, but he bit Abita last week and he bit me tonight (and drew some blood, though the bite was more of a scratch). I think Abita and I have to resign ourselves to realizing he might just be a biter. Ever had a dog you couldn't trust around strangers? Same thing, basically. We have to be careful around him.
However, he's definitely a playful, curious and personable little guy (I mean, just look at that face!), and he really seems to be enjoy interacting with us...and he for sure loves getting his ears scratched.
We've also moved him into a larger cage. He certainly loves chewing the wooden roof to his new house, and being able to jump from that roof to his balcony.
We still haven't decided if we're going to get him neutered.

I have a cat like that. You can get away with scratching his ears one minute and he will head butt you affectionately; the next minute he is attempting to rip your arm off like the panther in 'Cat People'.
