Tribble has been a real learning experience, and there have been many times we've thought how much easier it would be for the other cats if he weren't in the mix, because he's often an aggressive little bully. But we would no sooner part with him than our own noses, and once you understand him he can be endearing (as long as you don't look away and miss the nanosecond when your skritches become annoying...)
