Can someone tell me why feral cat's eyes look different than house cats. Not all feral have these eyes but many do. Here is an example:
I am happy that your kitties were able to transition to indoor life. This situation was a little different in that this kitty was very stressed. His behavior and the shedding demonstrated that it would probably take months for him to even come out from under the dresser. To me that would be no life at all for him. Plus, this could not be his forever home as I am a foster mom. If I kept a cat I would no longer be able to help the shy and sick adults have a place to heal and regroup for their future lives. I had a cat named Nina that ate on my porch for 6 years after I did TNR for her. Talked to her a couple times with the communicator. She appreciated the fact that she was cared for but I didn't want to own or control her.That is very interesting. Eve, is an accidental indoor feral. She was brought in in 2005 with two of her brothers, both of whom became pets oddly enough although born from a very feral mother, but never became even close to a pet. By the time I realized it, things were a little too far gone to put her outside and she had bonded to another black cat I had who was a real sweetheart....I think that she believed that cat was her lost (separated from) feral mother. She is now old and probably does not have much more time....but that pic is exactly what her eyes look like all the time.
My avatar, Lily and her twin Chiquita, started life as ferals but were brought into the house by me after a long introduction and are both lap cats now. They have a sister who is all black, Meryl, who lives outside (TNRed) and her eyes always look that way. I have never seen the big round eye now that you mention it.
