Hello; I hope this does not derail this thread. (by the way I am not sure what the thread is about?) A stray cat has taken up residence near my place. It may be feral as it will not let me get close. I have been putting out some food the last several weeks. The cat wil eat when I am not around and is less skittish, but 20 feet is about as close as I can get.
I figgure there is no real hope of getting it to be a pet, but do not mind having it around as my neighbors have rats under their house.
Here is the wrinkle. The cat was apparently a femae as there are now two kittens also. The kittens are also not approachable. They are perhaps too old to be tame?
Here is the question; does anyone have any tricks to tame feral cats. I can put food out but can do no more as long as they are not approachable.
