We once adopted an older cat and were told that she came with a companion, a cat who could have been Jasper's alter ego. This cat was truly feral and hid during the day, coming out only at night and leaving great clumps of his hair around as proof. I once caught him standing up behind a filing cabinet in our furnace room, he was that averse to humans (or fearful). We were not as patient as you were but returned him as incorrigible.
