I've noticed that feral male cats that have not been neutered tend to be thicker. Probably hormones doing what they are supposed to do. First thing I think is a give a way is thick cheeks. And probably more strength and aggression to fight for food.

I have adopted a young stray 2 years ago. Last year I had to sit with him next to the open door as he panicked every time I tried to close the door. Last October finally ge trusted me enough that I would let him out if he wanted to. But... I never had a cat before. He comes in for his food. I can pet him. I can give him anti worm treatment or if his I think cronical cat flu is getting bad taking antibiotics. But... I have never tried to pick him up or take him to the vet. Could you give me some tipps what I could do? I tried never to enforce anything as my experience was it just throws our relation back. He still sleeps outside in front of my door in a house I built for him. Which means my terrace is now not usable anymore as it is his core territory.

I found a kitten at our doorstep. Wasn’t feral so he had to come from someone. Took him to vet to see if he had a chip. He did and it was one of our neighbours. We brought the cat up to the owner and let me tell you. He did not care. We said “hey we found your cat!” And he showed no expression wasn’t happy or delighted to see his cat again. He’s like “oh thanks” and then explains that he left him at the balcony on a 2 story apartment and that the cat must of jumped off. Guy wasn’t looking for the cat when he was lost and I could tell bc we had that cat for a week and you would think that someone would post on Facebook about it. It just.. makes me so mad

Did the original owners pick him up

[@tartamors]

She definetly stole someones cat. Hes well fed and his fur clean and taken care of.

Aww so adorable. I love how you have to earn a cat’s trust. Maybe that’s why I resonate with them so much lol Bruce is such a sweetie 🩷

Some idiots believe if a cat has no collar its fair game... Ive never put a collar on any of mine seen several get into trouble with collar, getting stuck in trees etc.

True, but so aggressive for such a long time? Almost looked like someone had abandoned him and he was taking it out on all other hoomans!

[@cwolf208]

@laceyjoe5933 You have to realize that spamming every video with this stuff actively turns people away, right?

[@jeannenora6113]

@KwonJasperet We all need food to survive, but we also need love and attention of some kind to be happy

[@jeannenora6113]

@KwonJasperet Could be that that cat was being fed by different people who took pity on him by leaving food out for him to find, but was also mistreated by others and so does not trust humans that much. I too have picked up many strays and have experience. All those I rescued became "cuddlers" in one way or another after a while when they learned to trust humans. (I usually found new homes for them as I already had 5 cats - also rescues)

Saving him from what? His big fat wonderful life outside? People crack me up, like everything needs to be saved!! He acts like he may be someone’s barn cat or something. Most barn cats have the best of both worlds! Food and a comfy place to sleep AND the whole outdoors.. you know that place humans love to go hang out in as much as possible (animals like it too) 😒

[@Mahzadin9xs]

​@@mkbno88there's a cat in my neighborhood she is quite old right now she lives in the street sometimes come to our balcony to feed her but she gets hurt a lot by other people or other cats even I thought so much about to keep her at home but I don't know it's a good idea or no 😢 I feel that she's not comfortable outside but same time I feel I don't want to keep her as a prisoner

he's such a gorgeous sweetie it's so wonderful you invested your time and getting him to trust you. I know shelters are short-staffed and underpaid but so many times they take an animal like this and say it's too wild to be domesticated and that's not true it just takes extra patience and love so glad that you gave it to him!

My youtube channel Has a bunch of vids of a feral cat I socialized, it took 2 years to pet him

[@kadebebesis4204]

That is a WELL FED cat 😂 I doubt that he was feral, you probably just stole someone else’s cat 😂

[@LeBongFairy]

Some feral cats with FIV end up getting puffy like that even feral

[@SilverFoxSpirit97]

Dude it's obviously an unneutered tom cat. When male cats aren't neutered in childhood, they develop thick pads of fat, especially around the face, to protect vital areas while fighting. Besides, plenty of cat breeds have thick, dense fur that makes them look a lot chubbier than they are. A domestic cat that was used to human contact would *not* react like this to human contact or being indoors. Besides that, if he was wondering around outside, without a collar or a microchip, acting aggressively to human contact, you cannot blame anyone for assuming him to be feral.

[@taracat7723]
