Some Steps On How To Tame Wild Kittens; Patience Is Key!

Most people who have sheds/stables, have cats and kittens. Most all these kittens are ferral, but you can tame them, so you can find them homes, if you are getting over run with them. It will take lots of patience and time, but can be done.

First, you will need to buy some canned cat food preferably fish as kittens find it irresistible. Get a fork, open the can and head out to the kitties.

Sit on the ground where they are and let the smell catch their noses. Get some food on the fork and hold it out for them to smell. Make them come and eat it off the fork with you holding it. Don`t put the fork down until they have eaten from it first, then you can lay the fork on the ground.

Just sit the first time out and feed them off the fork. For extremely skid-dish kittens, you may have to do this for 2 or 3 days in a row, to get them used to you being that close to them.

Next, you can reach out to pet them while they are eating, so they are occupied. If they won`t let you, just keep trying. You could be pushing too hard so just back off and take your time, try the next day and each day  after that, until they will let you pet them on the head.

Pretty soon, they will be used to the petting as they are starting to trust you so continue with what you are doing for a couple days. Next, you can try to carefully pick one up by the scruff of the neck, like his mama does and he will go limp, but only if you have picked him up in the right place. Hold him against your shoulder, still by the scruff of the neck, and talk softy to him.

Don`t use words with the "H" as this sounds like a 'hiss' to the kitten and may scare him. It depends on the age of the kitten as to how easy or hard taming them will be as a 4 or 5 week old will be much easier to tame than say, a 4 or 5 month old. Just go slow, no fast movements, talk calmly and handle them gently. It won`t take long to have tame kitties wanting to be petted and ready for a new home.
