I do believe that most feral cats can be tamed. I have been feeding six stray cats for a year and they are quiet content. I love cats! These cats love to roam around the neighborhood, but they always come back to eat their meals. Once you feed feral cats, they are yours for life.

It is a difficult life for feral cats. Every day is a quest for food, forcing them to rifle through neighborhood garbage bins. Winter is particularly hard for feral cats with the freezing temperatures and the snow, and they have to find safe and warm places to rest at night.

Recently, I brought them a warm soft bed to sleep in and they are fed three times a day since there are six of them. Many times these feral cats are waiting for me as I pull into the driveway. They are able to sense people who love and care about them and they will slowly begin to let down their guard with you. With feral cats, it becomes the survival of the fittest. Many feral cats are killed on the roads on a daily basis.

It is heartbreaking to realize that a lot of feral cats weren't always on the streets, but were pampered pets that were either abandoned by their owners or became lost somehow. Although taming those feral cats that were once part of a loving home is not easy, it is still easier than attempting to tame those brought up on the streets. Taming the tiny feral kittens doesn't pose as much of a problem, but it will still take time for them to get used to you, so expect a period of clawing and hissing before they settle down and trust you.

All feral cats and kittens need patient and constant love and attention if you wish them to love you in return one day.
