Look at that post.

Tried it the first week and a half. She only got less social, and better at running away in fear. It worked with Pockets 1 and 3, only kind of with Pocket 2.

She's gotten LESS hissy and runny since I started more or less ignoring and not chasing her, and slowly, slowly booping/petting while she suckles on Trece.

Too bad too, I couldn't find them homes. Everyone at the office either already has over 2 cats and can't get another, or doesn't like cats.
(what)

wait where are kittens going then? :ohdear:

No-kill shelter possibly.

Yes actually! Along with the usual yelping, etc. She only bites hard if I really push the issue play-fighting.

Maude kept hitting the windowsill excitedly with her paw when a pigeon was flying around.


Then got bored and decided to eat the curtains.



Edith decided to eat the curtains from on top of the kitchen cabinets.

did the same with gizmo to socialize her. she wasn't a kitten but completely feral when adopted and she basically sees me as her mother now after I spent years forcing her to quit being a poo poo head

if you want a long post on acclimating feral cats let me know, gizmo was a total handful for 3 years but basically adores me now. tons of stuff you can do but the short of it is you have to be dominant but nice so they see you as a leader and work on socializing outside once you've got the chain established

definitely not an easy or short deal and gizmo would likely not survive with anyone else. when I leave she roams the apartment howling for me and while she accepts attention she is inconsolable if I'm gone for longer than a night

If I could keep Calico Pocket I would totally do that.

Long term acclimatization, I guess? But I cannot keep her.

Oh well, two and a half out of four kittens pretty much social and ready for adoption (or at the very least boopable, 3/4) is not THAT bad considering that the last two ferals I tried to socialize destroyed my hands for a while :D

one of my friends had a cat that was pretty heavy on the claws and we broke him by getting some heavy gardening gloves with massive snuggling wearing thick shirts.

before that he had to use the gloves to pet the guy but the cat turned into a total lap cat a month or two of forced snuggling.

Have some blurry Lithium pictures I took while he was antsy about DINNER.







pictured: quiet fury at his tallmommy taking pictures of him instead of feeding him



then he got distracted by a fly



chicken and tuna dinner awww yisss



he always licks his plate clean, so hungry for an eight pound cat



then he picks up the spoon I dish up the food with, drags it off the plate, and licks it for another five minutes
