That has been my experience with stray kittens. If they are dirty and you bathe them even just with a wet wash rag, they start to trust you a little. I think they associate it with being groomed by their mothers.

@@FC-ku4ez When I was a teenager we had an indoor/outdoor cat. She liked to go outside but she also lived inside. Well one day she got stuck out in the rain and was soaking wet. So I grabbed her up, brought her in the house and decided I was going to get the cat good and dry. So I take her to the bathroom and pull out my hairdryer. I had no idea the hairdryer would freak the cat out. I'm holding the cat, turn on the hairdryer and she FREAKED OUT at the sound of the dryer. She clawed me so badly. Deep claws. I learned my lesson that day. lol

When you bring the snacks don't take them to her.. Put them by the cat and walk away..

First thing to do to get along with cats is to stop thinking they are hostile. In my experience this applies to most animals, how you treat them is how they will treat you, animals are sensitive to human emotions, so if the animals thinks you are cautious of him/her, then the animals will be to you too making you both on edge for no reason. I agree to the idea of giving treats, making a new friend is way easier when you give them free food.

Her hair being all matted and dirty probably hurt like crazy when she was touched. Being so young, it would be like all touch is pain since that's all she's known. I'll bet she just felt so much better after the bath, that she was able to be more open to her surroundings. Combine that with a great gentle soul like that foster, and she's just like "finally, I can just be a cat."

For me that means I brush and pet my cats according to their reactions and also according to what might make me feel good if I were receiving the brushing.

I've been an intern at an animal shelter, and did socialising with a kitten once. Was a really special feeling to just sit there, slowly moving your hand a tiny bit closer every now and then, only to finally be able to pet the kitten after like 20~30 minutes.

I had a pregnant cat that I fostered once. Our other cats hated her because of how violent and aggressive she was when we first took her in. She wouldn’t let anyone near her, but I eventually managed to get her to warm up to me by being patient with her and before I knew it she was cuddling up to me and being a little darling. She even deemed my bed her safe space when she finally gave birth and kept being me her kittens. My cat was very jealous and not happy with me for that. Once her kittens were old enough we took her and kittens to a shelter so they could be adopted out and they were. She went from super violent to such a sweet cat, I hope her new home is treating her well.

@@rgeorge1536 Thank you for caring for feral cats. I took in two feral kittens, brothers, who just appeared in my yard in 2015. The smaller kitten (named Lucky Carl) was a challenge at first, but became a happy house kitten in record time. The bigger brother (named Stars) made slower progress. He would only calm down and sleep if he was in a crate outside in the yard. Eventually we just accepted he would be an in/out cat. He proudly brought me mice and birds every once in a while. He always showed up for his meals and he did spend time inside, bonding with Lucky. He just would not sleep in the house! Today, Lucky Carl is a very neat and tidy little man who keeps his black fur very clean and shiny. He also does his own nails. Very distinguished boy. Lol, who will also turn gangsta in 1.2 seconds if he smells a rotisserie chicken. He's 6 now, and very happy. Very loved. Stars ("Starzie" to me) went over the rainbow bridge in 2017. He was struck by a car. I don't regret allowing him to spend time outside. Of course I wish it were a different story, but Stars was an outside cat. Like in his soul. I miss him still. He was only here a little while, but he showed me how you let someone you love be who they are. Even if you don't really like their choices. He would never have been a happy housecat. He left too soon, but from the minute I found him, he lived 100% of the rest of his life exactly how he had to live it to feel happy. Free. Self sufficient. And always, always he knew he was loved.

But that is their nature. We have street dogs outside who killed two . We were not able to do anything. I enjoyed reading about Lucky Carl and Stars. I'm sure they had/have a very happy life and are waiting for you at the rainbow bridge.

Being a cat person my whole life I took him in not knowing what to expect. He would wait for the post office to arrive and ravage all the correspondence, he would climb curtains...I played with him so much till he couldnt do anything anymore....he waked me up in the morning to play, and gradually we became best friends. Sheldon is on my lap now sleeping...the craziest, loudest cat I know and the most friendly! He loves visits and I started to rescue kittens and he would always be nice to them, play together and sleep together. Sometimes the wild cat is just misunderstood hahaha

There's no such thing as an evil cat. There's always a reason for their behavior. It's crazy to me that people think cats somehow don't have feelings or aren't smart enough to like people. Cats rely on trust a whole lot, so give them a chance and you might find your best friend in one.

Cats, just as people, can have nasty personalitys as well tbh. My Grandmother had two cats when I grew up and they were totally different personality-wise. One was a cuddler on a extreme level and the other was short tempered and you never knew if youd get his claws on you if you tried to pet him. Yet they both lived in the same caring home.

There’s nothing more rewarding than when a feral not only lets you touch them, but actually comes over and initiates the physical contact. My mother has tamed several feral cats, both kittens and adults, and I have helped with most of them, so I know how great it feels. I am really glad that you posted this so people can see that there is hope for ferals. They just need kindness and patience. Keep up the great work.

This one seems like it was a kitten though when this started, unless it's just a really small cat. I've worked around ferals too, and usually you can't socialize them once they're past the kitten stage. but depending on that specific cat's background, maybe they were once owned before so there is some hope for them. If they've spent their whole life on the streets though, they most likely won't ever warm up to humans. I fed a colony for 5 years or so, and still some of them even though they'd meow loudly when I came up w/the food, they'd run across the street when I got close to them or their food dishes. But a couple did come up and nuzzle against me too, but I think those ones were owned before.

We have a stray in our garden that just randomly turned up one day. She was already an adult apparently had been caught by the local shelter, fixed and then released. Very skittish. We left a bowl of food and water for her and she kept coming to feed until she just decided to stay on. It still took her about two years before she started trusting us and let us pet her. She absolutely loves my dad, he's her human. She's recently even started to come inside the house. After three years of patience.

Reminds me of my cat Spooky growing up. He was kicked and beaten as a kitten and we adopted him at 6 months old. Took him years to get comfortable with us but we were best buddies growing up and when he died of old age, he was spending time in our lap and really comfortable around us. It was so worth the years of work to see him come out of his shell and although he’s now gone, I feel good that we gave him the best life possible and we’re very patient. Love your work 👏🏻

Found a little kitten left alone in the streets some years ago, I gave her some water and she started following me all the way home. Even though I always thought I was a dog person and never had much contact to cats, the little decided for me to become a cat person. So first thing I did is was cleaning her paws (it was a rainy winter day and she was covered in mud) very gently with warm water, at first she was nervous but once the warm water came, she was starting purring like there is no tomorrow. After she was clean I dryed her in a very fluffy towel and sat down in my living room with her where she immediatly fell asleep. Little cat turned out to be very petit and didn´t grow after being approximately 3 month old... now she is a healthy 5 year old cat and foster mom to a double in size tomcat. To this day the shower and sink are her favourite places and she demands to get her paws washed every few days, only cat I ever saw to like water. Must´ve had a big impact on her the first time :D
