Re: Feral kitten advice?

(Anonymous) 2015-07-02 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
when i had a feral kitten, i used a cat toy (ribbon on a stick) to try and play with her. then, when the cat was comfortable with the toy, i used the end of the stick to pet her and slowly started moving my hand along the stick closer and closer until i could pet her with my hand.

i also tried to handle her as much as i could just to get her out of the cage and used to me. like, i'd sit and hold her for hours at a time (though yours sounds younger than mine was at the time that i caught her.) the hardest part was picking her up to get her out of the cage so for that, i put a small towel over her before slowly picking her up by the nape of the neck. once i had her out of the cage and in my lap, it was much easier to pet her. that was also when i'd feed her.

they do have a tendency to run and hide under stuff so make sure you're in a room where it can't get underneath something, like a bathroom. don't get too upset if the cat scratches you out of fear. getting scratched/bitten is just part of working with animals. kittens usually don't bite, though.

Thank you for your comment!

I actually had the kitten in the bathroom for a bit so I could transfer it from the box we had it in after catching it to the kennel it's in now. I wore garden gloves and picked the kitten up with a towel to put it inside, and felt kind of awful because it was spitting the entire time.

The kitten is actually being well behaved since I put it in the kennel, though! It isn't meowing or yowling, and I make sure to check up on it every twenty or so minutes to make sure everything's okay.
