What did you decide Smudgley? |

Yes.  I had a thought the other day & wanted to call them Dennis & Mary. One male, one female - always moaning. No reason, just nice names..... *no it's just a total coinsidense that my mother-in-law & father-in-law are called those names* But thought I better not as the kids may "tell"  So they are called Havoc & Chaos. They seem ok, but they are true ferals & their mother is very nasty. (she's not with me) Tabby male is Havoc & black female is chaos. |

I hope the smudgley magic touch helps these kittens along to a happy life soon. Welcome Havoc and Chaos! (And I may still steal those names, you know - I love them!) |

Well I'm not sure these will come round very easily at all.  I chatted with a cat behaviourist specialist (Peter Neville) about taming feral kittens & he explained a few things to me, but basically the older they are, the harder they are to tame (as we all know) but if you get past the critical socialisation period with them (ie after about 6/7 weeks in kittens) then it's a real tough job to tame them. Also I've had kittens that have had no human contact, but that have a tame mother (ie a lost / abandoned cat) these kittens are easier to tame as mother will have had some handling / human contact. But ferals, that live a very different life who are not tame at all, who have kittens, that also have no human contact & get to the age of Havoc & Chaos (12 weeks) then I think it's a very, very hard job to try & tame them. But we'll see. They are in a pen in the garage, so they can see a lot of things going on & people buzzing about. I'm not that experienced at taming them - so we'll see how it goes. |

Well, at the very least they're cozy and fed and cared for, now... What happens to feral cats if they can't be tamed? Are they PTS? Sorry to be so frank, but I really have no idea... |

Maybe they will get a job on a farm/warehouse, once they've been neutered? |

hope they do tame a little, poor babies. Must have a nicer more cosey life now |
