We had a shed-cat when I was a kid. He was already living in our backyard when we moved into the house.
At first he tried to run us off. He wasn't very friendly, until he discovered we dispense tuna.

Eventually I earned his friendship, though nobody ever called him 'tame'. He was a tough old scruffy cat. Scarred, shortened tail, chunk missing from his ear, and only one fang. But still tough as nails.
The pitbull next-door once jumped the fence and got in between me and the house door. The dog was growling at me and looked like it was going to attack.
Until a flash of fur flew past me and bounced off the dogs face leaving a trail of blood.
The cat took off, with the dog chasing.
I got inside safely, but was worried about the cat. Until he came casually walking back about 15 mins later.

Good kitty. He looked a lot like Henry.
He wasn't afraid of anything. Unfortunately that included cars. That was one fight he didn't win.
