So, this is my first time dealing with feral kittens who are about 8 weeks old. The last set I had were only about 4 weeks old and they were friendly in just a matter of days.
The two girls are improving, the black one played with me the other day and the little tabby girl can be lured towards me with baby food. But the boy is not relenting and still hisses everytime I get near him. He doesn't bite or scratch, but everytime he hisses.
I've tried:
Luring him out with babyfood (he'll move a few inches)
Sitting with him while he eats (he ate once)
Just sitting with him so he gets used to my presence
Bringing him out in a carrier where we are so he gets used to people
Holding him and getting him used to being handled
Are there any tricks I'm missing? Am I being too impatient? Even just vibes would be appreciated.
I know he hisses because he is still terrified of people and I feel bad for him, I want him to relax so we can find him a good home.
