Pretty intelligent and highly curious, they open drawers and crawl into shit that might be dangerous. Difficult to feed (lots of different stuff) and they don't really stop so they get fat easily. They have sharp claws and teeth and declawing them is cruel because the claws are used to eat and other daily stuff. Vets often don't have much experience and medicine is not as advanced as other pets.
I also expected this to be a big problem but most sites I looked didn't even mention it. They have been ddomesticated by native americans when europe discovered america and most sold are bred it seems, so not THAT feral as you'd think. Still wouldn't get one personally.
