What a beauty! And a great name, of course! :-) I think he has a very scared look in his eyes,my cats only have these really big eyes if something is really wrong (like going to the vet). What happened to him that he can't be touched, or does your friend know?
@fotofem I don't know of anything that happened, but he does seem to be very wild. He bites if you put your hand near, and I've tried and tried to be his friend to no avail.
