I trapped these ferels ,a mother and her daughter, two years ago. At the time , the daughter was approx. 4 months old and I think the mother was a very young mother.They were living on another property in a detached patio room for nine months. I had help from a woman who insisted that the best way to socialize the cats were to force physical contact on them. I moved them nine months ago to my home and have been trying to socialize them since. They're living in a spare bedroom in my house and I visit them at least once a day and sometimes sleep there. Over the course of their entire time with me, I've gotten conflicting advice from different people. Sometimes I try to let the cats come around at their own pace, and other times I would force physical contact. I would pet both of them but only pick up the daughter because the mother was still a little too ferel. I recently replaced the bedroom door with a screen door so they could see outside and hopefully become more comfortable with the activity in our household.
I haven't seen much of an improvement in their behavior since I brought them to my home nine months ago. I am out of ideas and I need some advice on how to get these cats to trust me. Please Help!!!
