A friend of mine had a feral cat in his barn give birth to 4 kittens. THey got 2 of the kittens & attempted to trap her so they could spay her etc.. ANyways she evaded all attempts to trap her and she ran off and took her 2 kittens with her vanished somewhere.
SO now they are hand raising 2 of the feral mothers kittens. THey have done it many times and the kittens seem to be healthy and doing well. THey say as soon as the kittens are old enough they will be looking for homes.
I just had a question is there any benifits to having a total hand raised kitten? These kittens were only 1 day old when they were brought under human care.
Are there any health risks on not having their real mother raise them with REAL MILK? WOuld they make better pets ?
ALso since they are not raised with the mother does that mean they will never learn how to hunt mice ?
