Boo is a rescued feral. He was captured October 2, 2000. At the time
he was probably about five months old. Method of capture was by hand,
a practice that I do not recomend. He was pretty friendly as a
wild kitten, which was his undoing. Enjoying being petted made him
relatively easy to grab. Several months later, however, he managed to
escape. When he returned a few days later, I grabbed him once again,
and he paid me back by sending me to the emergency room.

Boo's mother, Eartha Kittin, is also Volya's
mother, though they are from litters a year apart, and
The Wench is his sister by the same
litter, which makes him an uncle of Saki
and Vodka. As an outside cat Boo bore
the name Kotyohnok (Russian: kitten.) What a surprise it was,
after he had moved in and lived with me for a while, to discover that
his name was really Boo. As an all-black cat, it can be a challenge
getting clear pictures of Boo. As a kitten, Boo was full of shit, as
all good kittens are. As an adult he is somewhat more reserved, but
generally good-natured. He gets along with most of the other cats,
especially Minstrel. Lately, however, he
has been involved in something of a pissing match with his half-
brother, Volya, and seems to have
established the upper hand. I suspect that they both are expecting
that Minstrel will soon be stepping down
as head of the household, and are attempting to pre-position themselves
as contenders for the succession.
