Our Cats Protection is full of ferals at the moment, we've found a colony and are working on getting them TNRd. The kittens however are being brought in to be socialised, there are quite a few ranging from a couple of weeks to the one I've got which is about 12 weeks old. I got her on Tuesday and was told she might not be able to be tamed, apparently we don't usually take feral kittens that are as old as her, they usually just get released after being neutered. Anyway, she hid under the bed on Tuesday and hardly ate anything, I went in to check on her yesterday morning and she'd pooed on the bed... I came to the conclusion that it was time to crate her! Eventually we managed to get her in the crate, she spent the day sitting in her litter tray, mewing and looking miserable. This morning I went into see her and (wq233333z\\jw3 - Emmy just walked over the keyboard ) she actually walked over to where I was sitting so I opened the door and let her smell my hand, the next thing I know I'm being headbutted and purred at, she's rolling around on the floor and I've even held her on my knee! She's very skittish and hisses a lot so I have to move very slowly but I'm so happy that she's coming round to me, I feel like I've one a prize or something. I was so worried that she was going to have to be released back into the 'wild'. Oh and she's also been using the litter tray, another great thing!
(We're not sure if she is a girl yet, I haven't been able to get a good look at her behind).
