60. No name yet. His personality is still emerging.

I don't know if it's because I moved him from the bathroom to the bedroom or because he's completely healed from being neutered, but he's become much more playful but less affectionate. He never tires of interactive toys like the feather wand, but he hasn't purred or let me pet him since that first day. We're still making progress--if I stretch my hand out towards him, he stretches his paw out to touch me--but he jumps if I touch his head or back.

He's still a miracle boy, though. It's incredible that he sleeps on the bed and will jump all over me if I've got the feather wand, considering how old he is and how little interaction he's had with humans. I believe that if I put the time in, he'll end up a love bug like his brother.
