We rescued a semi-feral stray about eight months ago and we had a bumpy start but he's since been neutered and has become more domesticated, though he still won't sit on anyone's knee. He'll allow respectful stroking, and if we get it wrong, we bleed. Quite happy to sleep between us on the bed...
We adopted a stray - from the streets - two weeks ago. He's a big boy, fully grown, not neutered (yet), unsure of his age and other than some bare patches of skin around his neck, seemingly healthy.
We put a flea collar on him (because that seemed easier than trying to get flea drops on him)...
