(8,445 posts)I would have forced the three feral kittens to accept pets. As it is, they're three years old now and still pretty wild. Their mom is tame.
I grew up on a dairy farm, and we'd tame the kittens and cats by petting them while they were eating. Somehow it worked. I guess if mine got hungry enough, that trick might work. They're all excellent hunters, though, so I guess they'd probably just go catch their own food.

Its definitely easier when you can catch them as kittens.
