    Releasing my feral kitten into the whole apartment

    Hi All, I've had a feral kitten (found him at around 8-10 weeks old) for about 6 weeks now.  The first four weeks he was in my bathroom, and then he graduated to my bedroom, where he has been for the past 2 weeks.  He has been doing very well in my bedroom - he lets me pet him, feed him, and...

    Socializing 10 week old feral kitten

    I just went into the bathroom to play with the kitten alone, and he would not come out of his carrier for 20 minutes. However, as soon as I let my other cat in, he came right out and started playing with me. Will this ever go away? This is a good thing? I'm just a little discouraged because...

    Socializing 10 week old feral kitten

    I work with him probably 4-5 times a day for 20-40 minute sessions. We play, i feed him, i've done everything in the videos. However, ever since I introduced him to my other cat, all they want to do is wrestle (and they play very rough, which also concerns me). Neither of them have interest in...

    Socializing 10 week old feral kitten

Also...

    Socializing 10 week old feral kitten

    Great, I am glad you both think I should leave them able to interact - they both already love each other and although he is wary of me still, I'm hoping the older cat will help with that.  Thank you all for all the great advice!! :)

    Socializing 10 week old feral kitten

    All great advice.  He has started to emerge from the carrier when I am in the room (prompted by turkey pieces) and sit in my lap and purr. I purchased two baby gates and stacked them on top of each other so that he could interact with my other cat.  He thoroughly enjoys this and cries when the...

    Socializing 10 week old feral kitten

    Good advice - I will admit, I am a bit impatient as my first kitten was incredibly social and eager to play constantly.  I have had advice from several people saying to just pick him up and spend as much time as possible carrying him around, getting him used to being held, which I have been...

    Socializing 10 week old feral kitten

    Hi,  I am a second year vet student, and I've recently acquired an 8-10 week old (not sure yet) kitten that was found in a feral colony.  It was originally supposed to be a TNR, but one of my peers decided to keep the kitten in the hopes of socializing it since he was so young.  He offered me...
