Dee, I think you understand. The two ferals we have are
almost identical, both ragdolls, but one has a crooked tail.
When they were little and still at their wildest, one of them
bit me so hard that I thought I have a crushed finger joint.
We named them Killer and Snowball. Killer was the one
who bit me. He got away and we don't know which one
it was because they look so much alike. : -) They still cry
for each other some times and once in a while the other
one will run to the other end of the house looking for his
brother. They treat my wife and me like we are cats, after
we do the necessary ritual of meowing and touching their
noses with outstretched fingertips. After that they are the
most affectionate of all. We lost Kissy recently and it was
nice to be able to talk to you.
