I know what you mean. I would not characterize Smynx as willing even now after a couple years hehe. Just a short while ago though our youngest showed interest and found a red-knee in the local Bulletin Board (lile a weekly classifieds paper) for $25 and just now took our other son's rosie into his care for a while. I appreciate the compliments and admit i am not all that crushed at the loss - not so much because I didn't find its alien screechings endearing but I expect to lose some of the males after having had them for a while. I am sure I will come across a worthy replacement in time - and I still have my sling raised parahybana which will eventually be a huge booger.Hard to find someone willing to live with them.
