Licorice

 No not the candy, but I do love licorice even the black stuff.

 Licorice is one of my feral toms. I got him trapped 2 summers ago and got him fixed. He was Charcoal's dad, one of Lila's babies, a girl.  She got hit by a car and was only 6 months old. I never got to pet her.

It has been almost 3 years since he has been coming to hang and eat.  Lately I have been able to nose bop him but tonight he let me pet him for about a minute as long as I stayed in the house and reached my arm out the door.  

Lila let him hang with her and the kittens, I often wonder if they recognize him, cos when they see him on the deck they run to the window and make little chirpy noises, especially Lila.  

As we all know with ferals everything is on their terms, so I will take the baby steps with him that he lets me have. But for tonight it is a huge score.
