      They look bristly instead of soft. That would be a major marketing barrier to conquer. People like fluffy. I still want one, though.

      They are social in family groups, but fight between each other to sort out a hierarchy. It can get bad for the weak ones that get picked on

        Ever own multiple cats? They figure it out pretty quickly, then it’s all good.

        You may have to protect the runt, though. I did that with our cats. I made sure to pick up the runt every day and give her special attention in front of the other cats (5 total, at the peak, only one left now).

        You could tell the other cats got the message, they would literally look at each other like “Are you seeing this shit?” But they realized that she had as much value to the humans as all the rest of them, so they left her alone.
