I'm sure some people would rather not read my wordy explanations. I'll compromise. I'll give you short answers, but I reserve the right to mild snarkiness and a complete abandonment of grammar and formatting.

Other:
Cohab?
No. Naturally, vicious, antisocial loners

Bond?
No, they lack the software for it, see previous answer^, but people are exempt from the vicious part. They tell people apart and can be quite sociable, but don't expect glider-level bonds

Friendly/Handle-able?
If I've done my job right.

Then why baby so spicy?
Some go through "terrible twos", but magically calm back down at maturity. Risk increases the younger they were taken home.
