Has anyone here made a feral kitty into a pet?

4. I have had mixed experiences with feral cats. I have managed to tame a couple

of grown feral cats, but I suspect that they had once been house cats that were abandoned in one way or another. I have also rescued a couple of feral kittens that turned out to be excellent house pets.

OTOH, for the last few years I've been feeding a small group of ferals who have lived on my back porch and have been fed twice a day from the time they were weaned, but they will not come close enough for me to touch. The cast changes as kittens are born and older cats disappear. I'm beginning to wonder if they have inbred themselves to insterility as there have been no kittens in nearly two years and there are only 3 who appear regularly and an older tom who comes by now and then.

As long as you are providing your bunchthey with food and shelter, they are probably acclimated to weather conditions and will be fine.
