stray kitten advice needed, again
As you know I have been feeding stray kittens and the mother. Yesterday DH
said if I wanted one I could keep it. How hard is it to socialize a kitten that has lived it short life outside. I'm guessing they are about 4 months old. All the kittens will come and eat when I'm about 3 feet from the dish and look at me when I talk to them. Am I taking on more than I could handle? I know some of you have rescued cats and kittens and any suggestions or advice would be welcome. If I kept the kitten it would be inside only and I do have 2 cats now. You can Email me at Take out the cat for the correct address. Ann |

The younger the cat the easier it will be to domesticate it. Steve's Rocky
was feral for most of his life, but was integrated into the household with love and patience on Steve's part. Also, from what others have said here creating a lap fungus from a previously feral cat is a very rewarding experience. Hugs, CatNipped "Ann" wrote in message news:Vevdd.46069$UA.21760@lakeread08...

Also, from what others have said here creating a lap fungus from a previously feral cat is a very rewarding experience. A young cat will adapt quickly. Our two orphan kittens grew up inside. And our Smokey-poke (whom we suspect was a pet before he went feral) took less than a day to give up his "Wild ways" and adjust to becoming an inside-only boy. Don't forget to find homes for the mom andthe other kittens. --Fil |
