LOL I know, that's why I wrote it the way I wrote it.. LOL But yes, catch rats... or protect lunches from rats in dark coal mines... LOL darkness and things that creep in the night...(me, my fingers, trying to pet him before I go to sleep). I was trying to connect his behavior to his breeding rather than his PAST surroundings. I suspect both.... Eye's yes partly, maybe.. but even if you reach down to pet him where his eyes are not.. he'll attack when he's touched... I've never had a dog or cat that did that. Again, that's in bed only, when we're sleeping or nearly.
He is a precious docile old man. His display of spunk is limited while awake. He is alert, happy, interactive, social... and he can walk quite a distance, 3 miles a few times a week. He doesn't play with toys. He is bonded to both of us but mamma is his favorite. LOL
