I can't help but wonder if Sourdough had been looking out for his siblings while they were still feral and felt that he had to keep defending everybody.

[@conquistadorrocket]

that may be the case because my cat (also a rescue - found in a box with her siblings) is very protective and dominant and I figured that she was the one who took up that role, as well

[@miriambucholtz9315]

[@JasikaChannel]

Kitten hates his foster mom, so she wraps him up in a purrito and keeps him close. Amazing!

[@jdogsful]

the fact that she locks them in a cage and wraps him up so he cannot move is the reason why he did not trust her. wake up.

[@krisniznik3953]

@@jdogsful Wrong, they fear humans when not exposed to us right from the beginning, and if you let them hide all the time they never get the exposure. There's a short window of time to tame kittens, and after that it becomes very difficult. Keeping them confined ensures they get the contact they need to become tame. Sourdough was more resistant than his litter mates, but if he wasn't confined, he NEVER would have accepted humans.

[@jdogsful]

@@krisniznik3953 lol. wrong. all my cats have been either strays or feral. food, kindness, comfort and safety is how trust is gained. try understanding their personalities and not forcing them to be in situations they dont want to be in. Fact is, there are many ways to tame a beast. Some methods are just more enlightened. This chick sucks at it, koz she cares more about recording it for content.

[@krisniznik3953]

@@jdogsful You're still watching though aren't you? My cats are former ferals too, and some do tame that way over time. I have one that decided to be tame at 12. Fostering kittens is different though. They need to have less choices. While I wouldn't have left him without a sibling, I would have taken away his hiding places so I could pet and hold him on my terms. They are baby mammals, they don't have their mother and they need someone to be gently in charge of them. When they accept it, they will feel more secure than if we let them hide indefinitely in fear.

[@benegmond6584]

@@jdogsful She did a great job, maybe you don't understand what end result is, and you just live in a delusional that you could do it better, you don't own the kittens mind, you can't control him with your brain, you literally have to make the cats get familiarized with you, and she did just that.

[@nattywho]

Sourdough is just the cutest name and now I’m wondering if he kept it….😂. He was definitely spicy and those little paws were lighting fast…😮. I’m so happy he came around and he’s in a loving home, with friends to play with!!!

[@trevorjensen2706]

Sourdough was just playing hard to get. It cracks me up, toward the end of the video, you see him surprise attack (in play) the other cat. He's just a rebellious child at heart (lol). Also, big shout out to the lady who eventually broke Sourdough's tough guy persona. Some ladies have this ability to turn the toughest guy into a guy who can let his guard down and relax a little.

[@KENTUCKYUSA1]

Turn the toughest guy into a .... pussycat?

There was once upon a time when men were allowed to chase hard to get women now they comment about it on cats.

[@ILuvAyeAye]

@MIND Where do you think tough guy personas come from? In my experience, people who feel the need to act tough are very scared. (That said, I'd rather live with a kitty who feels the need to act tough than an adult human who does. 😆)

[@sailincat2822]

As a former cat & kitten rescue, I love feral kitten stories with a happy ending! We used to call them little spitters. If you find yourself with a feral fuzzy ball of claws and hate weighing less than about three pounds, or around a kilo, it's essential to gently 'force' attention on them, as opposed to waiting for them to decide if they like humans. Cloth towel purrito, paper towels handy to wipe your blood off your hands, gentle handling and talking to them, don't flinch or show any fear when they act aggressive. Don't punish them for being frightened and feral, they're just following their core instincts to survive. Try to schedule your socialization sessions just before feeding time, so they feel rewarded for tolerating human contact. During the socialization period, emphasize the connection between humans and food. Hungry kitty? Then be nice to the humans and they will feed you. If safe to do so, hand-feed treats and dry food, but don't sacrifice your fingers! Treat all cat bites, even from tiny kittens, as highly septic, almost venomous. If a bite breaks the skin, immediately wash with disinfectant, apply antibiotics, bandage. If swelling and inflammation occur, seek medical help quickly. I've seen cat bites go from "eh, no big deal," to "if the doctor's office isn't open, we're heading for the emergency room!" within a few hours.

[@OddlyIncredible]

_"Treat all cat bites, even from tiny kittens, as highly septic, almost venomous."_ Cat saliva actually _is_ venomous (in a manner of speaking) to some birds and prey-animal species, and the proteins, etc. in it are what drive allergic people's reactions. So, treating cat bites (and scratches that draw blood, by extension) as mid-tier threats to health isn't a bad idea.

[@CallMeKes]

That pan up to the cat with just his eyes staring you down was the funniest thing I've seen in awhile.

[@qmnnvrdyz8965]

Aw, poor scared Baby! Used to volunteer at a rescue organization, and a group of kittens came in, with the same scenario. I worked with the one kitty that just wouldn't give in, and it was actually the first to be adopted. It's tough to see them go, but you know it's for the best. ❤❤❤💋

[@unnamedvisitor1649]

Reminds me of my cat, Little Bit. She originally got the name because of her unusual habit of doing everything in very small amounts. She would eat frequently through the day, but only a little bit at a time, or sleep omly a little bit at a time, usually only about half an hour. After chatting with a vet and some checkups, it was determined to just be a personality thing. The name slowly gained new meaning as she got older and developed an extremely opinionated attitude towards everything, and her name became Little Bit' instead, now being abbreviated. She's going on 17 now, and her attitude has long since faded away, she's an absolute cinnamon roll these days, but we all very much remember her spicy years

My cat was a total spiceball! As a kitten, she came from a home with too many animals in a small flat. And she was a tortoiseshell, who tend to be feisty. But she turned out to be a fiercely loyal and loving cat. She was protective of me almost like a dog. I ended up trusting her judgment about my potential boyfriends more than my own. She hated a couple of them and she was right to! 😂 She was an incredible character. Once a spicy cat trusts you, you can really have an incredible bond.

[@ninademci1500]

I felt bad for Sourdough and Emilie. Although he wa a kitten, he behaved like a scared no confidence he lived his whole laugh on the streets. Emilie, I commend you for working with him and not giving up on him. Sourdough being adopted by a family with older kittenss is perfect. They will teach him cat manners. Emile, thank you for not giving up on Sourdough.

[@matthewhuszarik4173]

Sourdough is just a passionate cat he hates and loves with with intense passion.

[@OddlyIncredible]

One of my rescues was an adult that had gone semi-feral in shelter due to low amounts of human contact, and it took a few months of careful work to get him to come out of hiding around us. He's a lap-loving cuddlebug now, and thankfully was a hider/stealthcat instead of choosing violence, but at the start he only picked one of the family humans to even go near. Sometimes they just take time and effort.

I worked at an animal shelter. We got many feral kittens in. They either became social or chanced being euthanized. I would put leather gloves on & pick them up multiple times throughout the day. By the end of the day, they were friendly. I showed them i would not hurt them & they could not get their way. I had a few injuries, minor, but it was worth saving them. Also you can wrap them in a towel.

I think he was the one trying to protect the others when they were alone, that's what my latest spicy kitten had done. And *she* was so protective over everyone, but especially the little runt of them all, and that made her very scared of everything around her. But she warmed up and became one of the best little ladies I've ever had the pleasure of being around. Or it's just as simple as it seems - he was just scared, that's also completely possible :)
