Feral cats pulls on the heartstrings of many owners of cats, but adoption is not the cake. feral kittens are the easiest to tame and socialize. Some experts recommend against the adoption of rescue feral cats over six weeks. Although the socialization period is the ideal first weeks of life, older animals can be tamed and transformed from spitting bullets of fear and malice in the affectionate pet. care wild cat care cat or stray galore.Feral more patience? Bobcats are not to be confused with stray dogs that have grown up with humans, but have been abandoned and are now living wild. Rather, feral cats are cats who have had little or no human contact. In each city, abandoned lots and areas near food sources outposts house where generations of kittens have grown up with minimal human contact. Not only will these generations had little experience with people, they may have learned the fear and avoidance of members of the colony. Rescue Wildcats - advantages and disadvantages: Although warnings about the rescue of older animals are well founded, and the dressing is not cat owners for the first time, it is possible and half the battle is common sense to care for pets. Any cat owner knows the personality differences between the large cats. This, as far as social development feline is the key. Some cats just seem to be bolder and more adaptable. Others can never overcome the fear and the older they are, the more likely that mistrust will reserve entrenched.Some: if some colonies prosper, others suffer from malnutrition. This little kitten could be older than you think. I have gotten a wild kitten appeared to be about two months. Inspection has shown its teeth at least six months. Although friendly enough in his familiar surroundings in a strange place, she displayed extreme fear and loathing of the man. Be prepared for changes in personality. It is difficult to predict how they will relate to existing pets. Mine are amicable, but not best buddies. They are sometimes nervous but wild and it often ends in flying fur. care of feral cats: the wild cat may rub their legs, but resist interaction. Many are terrified of hands, combined with bad experiences. Getting them to associate your hands with food (rather than being manipulated) is the key - the hand that gives the bowl and retires is harmless. To accustom them to touch and try to caress her back while they eat and can not see your hand. Later, try candy by hand to enhance the power of positive associations. By taming feral cats, e prepared for the long term. You can not be tolerated as a food-distribution jailer for years. My own experience has been one of small steps, never push the agenda. If you stroke your wild and get hissing and claws, walking backwards, but still. Fear diminishes. Wildcats can tolerate tickling on the forehead (where the mother cats and cats can lick host of others) rather than elsewhere. tickles belly are masochists. I tolerated my wild after a year, showed occasional affection (mainly during meals) after two and that's all. She had four before making me accept it as a benevolent presence, then she began to improve in leaps, becoming one of the most affectionate cats I've ever had - and maybe the smartest. Limitations remain. I can pick her up after hundreds of practice runs, but she prefers that I do not. I insist because she needs to capture the opportunity of visiting veterinarian. It is unpredictable - enjoying a tickle, then suddenly hisses, growls and bites. A good place to stop biting: biting can be solved when some trust has been established by a cons-intuitive strategy - instead of pulling away, put your finger in the cat's mouth. Mine was surprised and disappointed that it did not achieve its goal of pushing the hand. Now she thinks twice and licks instead. Each cat is different. Tuning patiently in their fears and their strengths and good basic knowledge of pet care are key socializing feral cats. Cat Rescue is useful and tame wild cats are triumphs of compassion upon negligence. References: feral cats. www.the-piedpiper.co.uk/th12.htmLouise Holton. Saving wild cats.
