I would like to get some of my semi-ferals socialized so I can try and get them adopted. I'm working on this tom cat who always has his claws out. Do you have any tips on how to get them to retract their claws? He doesn't scratch me, but it's uncomfortable when he digs into my thighs like they are upholstery. I pick him up and set him on my lap to pet, until he gets antsy and I also carry him around a little bit to get him used to that. Today he bit me. It was just a love bite, no skin broken, but I said ouch and left. That is what Jackson Galaxy recommends, ignore bad behavior. I can not bring this boy inside for training, but he is always outside my apartment door. He follows me around and loves attention, so I know he wants to be someone's pet. Does anyone have a secret training tip on how to get to get kitty to keep his paws soft?
