I'm doing 38 things
After a year of trying, I finally won his trust. He’s still somewhat feral, and gets a bit bitey from time to time, but I stroke him every day, and he sleeps on my bed at night. The next thing’ll be getting him on my lap – another 6 months I reckon…

My cat’s the apple of my eye. He’s feral and rescued from the Arabian desert. Gaining trust is a long slow process. It’s been nearly a year now. We get close, a couple of feet, but stroking and petting’s a way off yet. He’s a brilliant little guy.
I had a bar for a few years. It had to go because I kept aggravating it in martial arts training, but I would thoroughly recommend it. I loved it, it was a great experience and a fantastic feeling!
Be careful where you get it done. It takes a long time to heal (mine took a year) and it’s a very infection prone part of the body to mess with, so you need an expert to do it and spotless hygiene. It does hurt, it’s supposedly the most painful piercing you can have, but the pain is gone in an instant. Don’t be tempted to play with it until it heals.
