How to Tame a Wild Cat

Taming a feral cat takes time, knowledge and patience coupled with extreme caution. A feral cat is a domesticated cat that has reverted to wild and is not socialized to humans. If the cat or kitten appears healthy and you wish to attempt taming it, keep in mind these cats will be scared of you and are likely to bite. However, if you find or are given a fearful or scared stray cat or kitten that tolerates some human interaction without biting, you can try to tame it to make it an acceptable cat. You may never make an indoor cat out of it, but it may become a good outdoor kitty that tolerates you. Sometimes all that is needed is plenty of patience to turn a scared kitty into a marvelous pet. Your first goal should be to make it comfortable around you. Then the cat should be taken for a very important veterinary visit to make sure it is healthy.
