I really have no suggestions for taming the kitten, but 3 years ago we adopted a beautiful Russian Blue kitten, about 5 weeks old, that we found under our poach. There were no mama or other kittens, but we have many feral cats that roam our mobile home community and one of them is a Russian Blue that appeared to have recently had kittens, so we suspect she was the mother who apparently abandoned her baby. We were told by our vet that a feral cat was always a feral cat, and to be prepared for most any kind of behavior. Well, he was right!! She is the most loving [at her own time] mean, playful, standoffish - well, I guess you can get the picture. My friend and I are 81 & 82 and think she is the best thing that ever happened, even with her sudden mood changes! She keeps us entertained with the things she does - the funny and sometimes very weird things! We have never regretted keeping her and wouldn't take a million for her. BUT be prepared for anything! She had never been outside except for trips to the vet, has a diet if dry food with meat as the first ingredient, grass sprouts we raise so they will be fresh and tender, and two other brand of dry food , also with meat as the first ingredient, that she only gets as treats. One of them she only gets when we leave the house and will be gone all day, the other she gets when we play her best game which we call 'mouse hunt'. We throw them in different directions in the room, and she chases - hunts them - and pounces! sometimes she even catches them in the air. She is healthy, active, and seems happy with her life. So enjoy your feral, four legged, furry child that doesn't talk too plainly, but as all mother's do, you will soon know what most of the 'words' mean!
