I do enjoy these videos. But you know what i've realized for years. That people dont show the same patience or love to other humans in need. WHen a kitten needs love people give it a chance and everyone comments how great it is. But when its humans that are scared and need love. Everyone automatically just gives up on them and no one cares.

I'm not sure if, in this particular case, it actually was. Cats will also sometimes reflexively blink when things are coming at their face, much like humans might, too. I've also noticed that sometimes cats will blink at other creatures or humans in an attempt to try and pacify or butter-them-up in a sense, kind of like taking a defensive rather than offensive strategy, especially if they feel like victory or escape is not possible.

From my experience don't start petting them in the head or neck. Pet them in the back. It's easy to do that when they are eating and it's actually similar to what mom cat do when they feed their kitten. Gradually they'll let you pet their back even when they're not feeding. Afterwards they'll headbunt your arm themselves once they're comfortable.

This is just based on my experience and I also learned this from a channel about huskies (but the person said this applies was for all dogs) Im not sure if its the same for kittens but I do think so.

We used to have a stray cat that was extremely scared of people and wouldn't let anyone come near it no matter how many tried.. I worked alone on the graveyard shift and would throw out food while I was sitting outside smoking and waiting for customers.. after about a week or so, the cat started slowly making its way closer and closer to me, until it got brave enough to come take the treats from my hand.. after a month working there, the cat had pretty much adopted me and would actually come rub between my legs and ask for pets and treats.. my coworkers and regular customers who had known how antisocial the cat was before I came along, were shocked at how sweet the cat turned out to be.. one couple who had always wanted to try to feed the cat and could never get it to interact with them, eventually were able to gain its trust, and decided to adopt it and give it the home I couldn't (thanks to pet restrictions where I lived).. I've had similar experiences with other cats and dogs as well, but that one always made such an impact because I knew that I had helped all of them find their happy home together.. patience, persistence and getting down to their level was all it took for me to help that cat learn to trust humans..

@ms.pirate I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this? If the kitten was born outside, it would be considered a feral kitten, although it wouldn't take much to get it friendly enough to be homed since it's so young. If the cat was born in a home, has been around humans before but then got out, it would be considered a stray cat. There are most definitely feral cats as sad as that is. They're cats that are born outside ( or strays that have reverted to a wild state) and have had little to no interactions with humans so it's hard and honestly sometimes impossible to get them resocalized to become companion pets. 🥲 I hope this helps. Take care❤️

@@kart1372 ofc every cat has a different personality, I do believe tho that your cat is the way it it because humans did the cat harm when it was younger. Ofc the cat will have a hard time trusting again after being abused outside by strangers for example , there are a lot of people out there who hate cats and purposefully harm them and that is not okay in the slightest. We found a cat that also was really feral 4 years ago and my mother bonded with her after I believe 5-6 months until she really became tame, she was the sweetest cat out there and she even showed us her kitties. All of them found a home and we neutered her, she sadly never came back to us after one storm even after looking for her in the whole village for weeks. Anyway what I wanted to say is that I got one of the kittens and she also behaved feral if you could say that. she is now 3 years old and the most affectionate cat I know and I believe that this is because we never treated her bad in any way or form since she was 8 weeks old. We also had a cat that sadly died of cancer with 16, she was a cat that behaved relatively cold to everyone except to my mom. My father rescued her from teenagers that tossed and kicked her around when she was a young cat. This is what I meant with if you can tame them they will give you trust and love, you have to earn their trust and love and you also could loose said trust and love if you harm them in any way or form. Sorry for the long text but I wanted to explain myself better since English is not my first language.

I’ve been playing with and feeding a 7 week old kitten maybe 8 weeks old now, and it is a little heartbreaking but what’s more heartbreaking is that the reason they feel like that. Like that barrier was broken to just accept contact. It because they’re not tigers anymore. They’re cats. But they’re feral cats. So they have instincts like tigers and don’t even realize Love is an option. The kitten I mentioned that I play with will catch herself being too happy or comfy and she’ll run away rly quick out of anxiety of like “oh I will take her or she’ll never come back outside or maybe I’m gonna eat her” so I just still monitor if she wants domestication or the wild. But from my observations she craves attention and playtime, she doesn’t rly wanna do survival. I can tell because some cats like her mother hunt the birds around here. I’ve accidentally catered to this kitten to think porch food is the way of life. Our lease is up in the winter so I’d have to leave her with being taught nothing by her peers on how to survive or I starve her out. Or I take her in.

Very true. We were in a similar situation. Only by taking in both mamma and daughter, were we able to help them. ( They were the two worst ferrel cats that we had to date.) Sadly, mamma was very sick but still very full of fight. The mamma cat we named Grandma, the daughter we named Squirt. Squirt would never leave grandma that's why taking both of them in was important to her as well as us. Squirt was pregnant when we took them in so her kittens were no problem as they were born inside the safety of our home. Taking Grandma and Squirt to the vet was a challenge. Thank goodness we have an excellent vet who came to the house. Sadly, Grandma passed away two years later still ferrel. 😿 It has been four years now for Squirt and she is still semi ferrel but will now interact with humans and play with toys and the rest of her cat family. Squirt is still a labor of love in progress as we refuse to give up on her. Bottom line Squirt came to trust us because we cared for not only her but her mamma and babies. 😻

You can't start petting the from the head down. You have to pet them gently with something small like a chopstick and rub their chest. Then you let them smell you and gently ease your hand to scratch their chin. If you reach for the top of their head, they'll think you're grabbing them and/or trying to hurt them. I've just trapped and tamed an entirely feral kitten in a day, and have always done it in a day or two. Some cats take longer, but if at week one they're still spitting and screaming, then something isn't being done correctly. He shouldn't be in the kennel for more than two days, and should be given freedom to roam a small, confined room. If you're worried about them running under things: block off holes and gaps with an old towel or shirt, also considering a walking harness so they'll get used to your company AND have freedom to roam safely without running off. Always let the kitten sniff first and go from bottom to top. All cats love pets, you just need to find their spot and earn their trust ☺

Exactly, And never force it Because it's not gonna happen overnight (figuratively speaking) If you do try to force it, He can and will HURT YOU. And older cats (of course) Are even more difficult than this little baby monster (or he thinks he is, anyway) here. I've rescued many cats, and even one Chihuahua that has been: "ABANDONED, ABUSED, STARVED and SEVERELY BEATEN" By "HEARTLESS TRASH PEOPLE" out there who thinks it's funny to do that to animals. I know I'm not the only one who says this: "PENALTIES FOR CRIMES AGAINST ANIMALS, AREN'T NOWHERE NEAR SEVERE ENOUGH YET"!

Definitely the long way to socialize a kitten. Kudos for not giving up. Faster progress is made by using food a motivation and also built trust. Can socialize in about 5-10 days or do it this way and take months 😊

This made me smile so BIG 😊They are just scared to trust what they don't know. We are enormous giants compared to them. They have a natural defense mechanism in order to protect themselves. She wanted to be pet so much, but she was so scared someone would hurt her. You definitely did a wonderful job working with her everyday 👏 She learned you love her and would never purposely hurt her.❤❤Great job ❤❤

Actually, the best way to tame a feral kitten or cat is to simply just spend time with them in the room where their kennel/crate/enclosure is, sit down facing away from them and just be there. Let them take the time that they need to accept you as part of their environment without expecting the reward of affection from them, and don't impose yourself upon them. In due time, curiosity will win them over, and they will come to you -- if you are patient enough to give them the time that they need. While still facing away from them, try introducing food treats by holding a few behind your back in your hands. Again, allow them to come to you to investigate you. The smell of food will draw them in towards your hands where the food is. Sniffing your hands will encourage them to associate your smell with the offering of food, imprinting you on them with a sense of security and safety and not something that poses a threat thereof

What a cute little kitty Tips: let the cat befriend you first. Let it decide when it wants to approach you. If it hisses and seems scared, back away, sit down (get on its level sort of) so you don't seem big and dominant. Let it approach you. Let it smell your hand and if it lets you, try petting it under the chin, rather than on the head. If it wants you to stop, then stop. It's okay. You can befriend it with food. Offer the cat some food. First from a distance. Like put some food in a bowl somewhere nearby, and keep distance. Sometimes they'll enjoy the food and want more try luering them to you with food, they see that as friendly Let it know you're a gentle friend and eventually it will get used to you

Yes! Best to not even touch them at first! And I always spray the Feliway calming spray inside their cage. I always play cat specific healing Frequencies, found here, on KZitem. Then Always starting w/ tempting food on a baby spoon, making them eventually come to you for the treat. I have found success using a training clicker as well. It's super important doing the click properly, at the exact moment they are receiving the treat. I highly recommend everyone check out "Kitten School" on KZitem. She has Excellent tips & tricks that are very helpful.

I've been feeding a few ferrel cats over by a church but they told me to get rid of them. I was devastated because I had already adopted n domesticated two of them...and had no more room at home for more cats ...I quickly came up with a plan which was to request permission from the next door to feed them in his back yard . The neighbor reluctantly agreed as long as it was just thier bowls for food..so I feed them every day there at the neighbors . In the mean time I hav been trapping and getting them fixed....I feel alone in this endeavor no support group of like minded caring people ........no proper shelter in most counties here in Wyoming......there are two small groups of rescues but rarely ever answer the phone .....I m getting attached to some of the ferrel cats ....I named them all...I'm a bit discouraged n sad because I haven't seen about half of them lately not sure where they are.....

I brought in a feral cat that I had slowly worked on outside, before bringing her in. I cant help but think it wouldn't have taken so long, if the kitty wasn't in a cage, and 30 days is a long time to be in a cage. I do appreciate the kindness and care taken when petting the kitty, but I feel so bad that it's not out being playful or exploring, hiding, and finding the coolest places to sleep.
