Help with domesticated feral cat!?
I found a kitten trying to get through my dog door 3 years ago. I chased her down, brought her inside and though she hid for 2 weeks she made fast friends with out other stray kitten who walked in the dog door (that has now been sealed up!). Luna, the older kitten took to us immediately and is affectionate and loving. Midnight, the second one, I have a feeling was truly feral, as opposed to Luna who was used to humans and touching. Now, 3 years later, Midnight still will not let us hold her or pick her up--even touch her usually. If I walk towards her, she steps back, if I reach for her, she recoils. Sometimes I can get her when she's napping ont he bed, and she'll tolerate the petting (even purring) and in the mornings for breakfast she's always rubbing my leg. She'll also let me scratch her head when I'm feeding them. She doesn't meow or talk at all (though Luna is loud enough for both of them!!!). I've gotten Midnight to take chicken off of my hands once--just once and she skittered away afterwards. Any tips on getting her more trusting of us?
