YES he does. You are very observant. Short story... I trapped Scary Mary's 5 kittens just over a year ago. PATTY, Mickey's brother was 1st and tamed in 2 1/2 days. Each kitten was agitated and crying the first few days. Mickey was last to trap and just sat in the middle of the cage for the first 2 days. I thought there was something wrong with him. Then he just began crying and thrashing around in the cage. I had to let him out in he room .Took him and this 3 sisters 5 weeks to train. They are now all sweet hearts.
