What can I use to calm kittens? I adopted 3 and they are very skittish. Also my resident cat  acts upset because of them. I've seen somewhere a lady swears by a product called Bach Rescue Remedy. There are mixed reviews on amazon however. Feliway has mixed reviews too.  so I'm not sure. anyone...

Yes I'll try this and the t-shirt trick. Thanks :)

Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately, I can't pet her she'll lash out immediately. did this before and got nasty awful bloody scratches.

Yes the mother comes when I feed her and actually rubs against my legs. but the kittens won't join her. She carries the food I've given her, goes to where kittens hide and calls them to come out and eat. I just watch from a distance. I know these kittens are very skittish much different from all...

Do you think it'll help with feral kittens? There are 3 kittens (approx 5-6 weeks old) in my backyard living with their mom. The mom (been living here for a while) trusts me enough to let me handle them.  but these kittens are SCARED of me I can't touch them one bit. These days, they run as fast...

Thank you so much for your input everyone. will def try out the suggestions. Thing is where I live its extremely hot (115~118 F). Summer season is a lot longer here and the winter is not even that cold(rainy days here and there). I feel very sorry for the cats. Its unbearable that they disappear...

There are about 7 feral cats live in my house yard. I'm thinking of building a shelter for them. like this one https://petsfurkeeps.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/coolershelter.jpg also a tent but I'm afraid no one will use it. 

I failed in my several attempts to socialize. Whenever I try to pet the bravest one he would run or when I pick him up he attacks. It gets worse with each week. These days, as soon as he sees my hand he tries to escape knowing that I'll hold him. I gave up already..    

really? no one has an answer to any of these questions?!

There are kittens and their mom staying in our neighbor's backyard. The neighbor doesn't know about it and we don't want them to cuz they have very naughty kids. I would really like to take the kittens and mom to my house (I'd like to help them and also socialize the kittens who are approx 5...

There are 5 semi-feral cats coming into house and who I feed everyday (mom, 1 brother, 2 sisters, 1 intruder). They took my house yard as their own place. They'd stay there like ALL day everyday especially after I got them fixed.  I love them so much (and they do too) and I treat them like my...

I've been there too. Don't worry she will trust you eventually but it'll take some time (in case you don't take her to the vet ever again). What you need to do is provide her with her favorite food and treats because that what will make her trust and relax around you. Walk slowly and sit down...

oh really? That's great. I'm actually short on resources. i guess the house should be built of thinner sheets of wood which i only have a few. Thanks :) 

Hi I just wanted to know if cats use a cat house? like the one in the pic?  I'm working on constructing a cat tree on my own and I don't want to waste time and effort.  I
