Spontaneous arrival in 11/2023

We found Franklin (nov '23) stressed out in our garden, under a parked car. We had never seen him before and he looked and smelled like he lived outside for a while. So we assumed he's a stray. Behavioural he was just past junior, so maybe 2 or 3 years old. But looking at build and teeth, he might be 5 or 6 years old. So we decided to guesstimate he was born in 2020. The first 2 months, Franklin was very clumpsy and dominant in his approach to both cats and humans. He's very in-your-face and interactive while vigorously wagging his tail. He loves to play, chase, grab, bite, jump and climb. After a couple months, we came to the realization he might have grown up with dogs, since his behavior is very similar. We trained him to be less clumpsy and aggressive in his approach and after 4 months we're able to touch and pet him anywhere. He also stopped biting, but he still uses his teeth to grab your hand, fingers and clothing. He plays with the junior cats and got accepted pretty fast. He tends to sleep next to Lillith, and allthough she hates other cats, she let's him :)
