Hi all, I was wondering how old is too old? Back when I rescued my feral kittens I got them at eight weeks and that was soon enough but just barely. I kept one and he's always had a bit of a wild heart even though he's tame - he gets more scared of strangers and has a harder time with confinement in a carrier to go to the vet. The poor fellow just gets terrified by even a routine vet visit too. Someone posted a link to a page where they said you could tame them up to the three years old. This is all related to my quandry with the neighbor kitty who is 1.5 years now unfixed tom and is familiar with being fed by people but not handled and has never been indoors. I'm wondering if there's any way on earth I could turn him into an inside cat? Is it crazy to even consider? Would it be fair to the two cats I already have?
For context too I'm in an apartment with thin walls, so if he yowls like crazy or throws himself against the walls trying to get out it'll be a bit of a problem.... I wonder how it would be for him to look at my windows at the very place outside where he used to roam too. Still odds are I will end up responsible for feeding him (see other thread) and winter is coming and I don't have control over any good place outside to place shelter for him.
