I tamed a feral cat (which has taken about 2 years and a lot of consistent effort) and she is almost ready to move into my house. I have recently taught her to play by throwing leaves in the air and she chases them, and I'm working on chasing string now. When I play with her, sometimes she gets really wild and claws me enough to bleed quite a bit. She doesn't seem to know that she needs to keep her claws sheathed when she plays with me. How to teach her this?
(She was a mama and is spayed now. She lives in an outbuilding that is much like a house and I lock her up at night in there so she can mouse and not get eaten by a coyote. I plan to train her to tolerate phones ringing, the radio, the TV etc. this summer so she can move into my house this fall. It is a pain in the neck keeping her warm in and unheated outbuilding in MN in the winter)
Thanks!
