I got a kitten yesterday she looks abt 6-7 weeks old he was found under a tire at walmart and i noticed he’s very scared, he hides behind anything he can find like my dresser and my washer. He has gotten better because he plays a little but he still hides when i make a sudden movement or just any small movements any tips?

Spicy floofs are so cute! Looks like they're recovering very well

[@irisdaniels2318]

recovering? from what? being what they are by nature? independant predators who are not social naturally?

[@sherylhyatt3065]

That's what I strive for: To make every interaction with me a positive one! In 8 years, I've rescued 106 feral cats and kittens. I currently have 2 Mama cats and 7 kittens. The Mamas are slowly coming around and the babies were born here so, they're well socialized. This is a full-time job, but so rewarding. 💙🐈

I got one of my cats from a colony She was the only kitten that didn’t run from me so I took her home.

[@irisdaniels2318]

do not steal a cat from a feral colony. that is illegal.

[@Canis_lupin]

@@irisdaniels2318 I don’t know where you live, but where I live it is not illegal. Regardless, I honestly don’t care, she was a feral kitten on the brink of death that didn’t belong to anyone and I’ve had her for like three years. What are they going to do? Break down my door?

[@irisdaniels2318]

@@Canis_lupin well no, not for kittens, which i only just realized you wrote. but feral ADULTS, it is. since they're recognized as wild animals, they aren't really allowed to be kept as adults because they can't be socialized.

[@Canis_lupin]

@@irisdaniels2318 Feral cats are not considered ‘wild animals’ where I live, so even adopting ADULT feral cats is still legal. Also adult feral cats can be tamed and socialized, it just takes a lot of time and patience.

My little stray floof hid for legitimately 2 minutes and came right out to mumma and was all over me and hasn't left my side since. She's so afraid of strangers, I like to think she chose me as her mummy 🩷

[@Leekodot15]

Actually, she sees you as her mum, yes. But she also hasn't seen anyone else as a kitten, so just assumes everyone else is probably hostile. It's important to give kittens human interaction with several people before growing up so they don't see strangers as hostile.

[@Edtuma]

One spawned in my backyard, and it's been living there hiding under some boxes. When I try to get it, it keeps running away to my neighbors side

it’s also one of the most rewarding things i’ve ever done, i rescued a stray kitten and kept him with me for a month, at the start he’d his, scratch and bite at anyone and anything, by the end he’d literally be glued to people’s legs. he was so adorable and i miss him but i know he’s happy and in a loving home now :)

I just obtained my floof, however I am questioning why I had to give up my chair.

[@beepybopbap]

Also slight tip do not boop the snoot. Their snoot is highly sensitive and when they don't trust or like you that's a no! When you can properly book the snoot and they don't have a bad reaction then you clearly have a bond and they trust you!

[@cbalt2243]

Thought id add to this 3 months later but the same goes with belly scratches, some cats might love it but it takes a while because their belly is super sensitive, good news tho if it goes on it's back in the first place it trusts you enough not to rip it to shreds

[@beepybopbap]

@cbalt2243 I highly agree! I have two cats one hates his stomach being rubbed and will get up if it happens. The other he allows you to pet, just matters on the cat because I've met some who do not care at all.

[@MLTangerine]

I’m doing this with my outdoor cats. They are fully grown, and I can not contain them, so I hope that maybe if I just give them enough time and treats they will tolerate me.

[@marymegrant1130]

What worked for me is staying within sight of the food I put out. Sometimes about fifteen feet away. I'd bring the food in with me. Then I'd gradually decrease the distance. I just sat on my doorstep without approaching them. Many opossums and raccoons around my neighborhood and I didn't want them hanging around my house. One of my strays was a four year old tom, and it worked for him.

[@margaretinsydney3856]

What beautiful kittens! Nice job with the taming.😊

[@Magpiebard]

Just be aware, too much and can just as bad as none. I follow the same routine... and I haven't been able to close a bathroom door the whole way in my home for years. Went from spicy little floofs who were afraid to be touched to having tantrums if I'm not in line of sight at all times. Tame spicy floofs with discretion.

[@mariag.8242]

If you’re adopting a kitten, always get at least two. They need a companion to help them learn to cat, and it’s a big help in teaching manners. If they hurt the other kitten, they’ll hear about it and learn that’s a no. Too many people don’t know how to teach a cat that no part of another living being is a toy, but the co-kittens will play with each other and learn what level of aggression is acceptable. They also comfort each other, snuggle together, and play with each other. Kittens need lots of vigorous play time and it can be hard for a human to give them enough time and fun even with multiples, so having The Best Kitten Toy Ever, another kitten, is a big help.

[@Songs.and.Stuff.]

I tamed an adult floof in a few days. by the way I’ve tamed so many adult floofs. How to tame adult floof: Step 1:have wet foods prepared. Step 2:give them lots of hugs and cuddles. Step 3:also give them dry foods. Step 4: have equipment and toys for da floofs. Step 5:more cuddles and hugs. Step 6:let them have free times where ur not always bothering them, you know, so THEY CAN NAP! Step 7:let them explore. Step 8:try to get them a friend so they not always alone, if u can’t do that become da friend :D Step 9:let dem relax. And finally Step 10:make sure to always love ur floof forever and ever!

I have had a cat who is terrified of humans for 2 years and he still hates me

[@OliveJuice0630]

The most important thing is not to grab them and hold them down. Give them time to get used to you and be comfortable. We have a cat who jas been traumatized due to being forced into being held and pet using food. He runs from people all the time and if he is being given a treat he will rin away at any slight move. These techniques do work if given proper time.
