When I was a kid, the neighbor raised bobcats for re-introduction (I was told) into the wild. One summer, we ended up with a kit as a house cat for about a month. It was affectionate enough, litter box trained and would stalk us in the yard. It also climbed the curtains on a regular basis and wanted to play each morning when the sun was coming up (about 5:30 on the great plains). To it, play is curling up around your head purring until you move. At that point it was "On like Donkey Kong." Those two issues earned it a ticket back to the neighbors'.
