Being shy, timid, or un-trusting is different from being and introvert. It doesn't really take that much effort to befriend an introvert, we're just not that interested in socializing. Not that we don't enjoy it now and then, but we can be perfectly happy without it. On a side note, we are more trustworthy than the social types, especially women who spend a lot of time on social media. Totally not trustworthy, both as a friend and as a partner. Take note ladies, this is a red flag for men.

Every kitten that used to be Wild
I remember when I got my Calico, Aki. She strayed into our yard one day, so I left out food for her daily, but otherwise left her alone. Thought maybe her mom would find her in a few days. I was also still in lower secondary school at the time, so I couldn't spend too much time on her. Well, about 2 weeks later, and she was still there. Poor thing was halfway to completely feral too. But I managed to lure her closer and closer w food and treats, to the point she'd let me touch her. Still wasn't too fond of other people though. Once she trusted me more, I occasionally wrapped her into a purrito with a soft towel and just pet her until she calmed down and got used to me handling her. Eventually became our most pampered cat, lol. She sits on you until you wake up and give her her daily morning treats. I'm no longer her favourite human though - my eldest sister is. :')

Adorable crabapple 💜 Our feral kitten adopted us 2 yrs ago. She was very young & hungry......all I had was a tin of tuna to offer her. She gulped it down & kept coming back for more. She gradually got braver, first coming into our doorway, then a bit further, but we never closed the door in case it broke her trust in us, until one winter night, the weather was brutal......she came in the door & I closed it behind her. She was scared at first, but when she calmed down, she lay in a box I put down with a soft blanket next to our Aga . She slept for 2 days, before she went out again. And that was that! We had ‘acquired ‘ a feral kitten 💜 She rules the house now, & sleeps on our bed, but we are the only 2 ppl in the world she trusts.....maybe she will get more trusting with age 🤷🏻♀️ but I’m just happy she has a warm safe cozy home now. Obviously we named her Tuna Cat 😂

When I found a litter of feral kittens and contacted the local shelter, they said they'd be TNR'd, even though they were around this age. So I volunteered to try to socialize them, being 14 and not knowing anything about how. I'm so happy it worked out- I kept one, my baby Ash, and she's the sweetest most docile cat ever. I'll always remember when she looked up at my face as I pet her and relaxed and started purring. It was like that was the exact moment she decided I was alright. She's scared to even step foot outside now, lmao.

@@doomer5156 Hi, make sure and be aware of what might make her shy away. Putting your face down to a cat, your full face, can be considered a predatory move. Don't stare straight at her when you reach down. Make sure that you are wearing 'quiet' clothing. Our former feral did not like the crinkly sound that one of my jackets made, so I quit wearing it until she became more used to me. I think that we need to write a blog about socializing ferals. Also, remember that the hiss is a self-protective sound. It is not aggressive. It just means that she's still getting used to the fact that you mean her no harm, that you mean only good to her.

I had one that would hiss, spit and do a token front paw swipe just on general principle--he grew up to be such a devoted boy--have fun wit yours !
This video was an absolute life saver, I got two feral kittens today and I was clueless on how to socialize them, thank you Kitten Lady :D
That first purr must be incredibly satisfying 🥰

Do not forget an important part of cat language - the slow blink. Cats that are relaxed and do not intend to harm give a slow blink. Use this yourself to reassure the cat that you mean no harm. For cats, a stare is a threat of violence. This can help reduce the time it takes to tame a cat or coax out their true self. This vid eois brilliant
Had such a crappy day , in so much pain. This really cheered me up! So cute 🥰

My cat used to be feral... We gotten her as a kitten and she was hiding most of the time... We got her some cat food and she immediately came out of her hiding spot to eat... She would sometimes be petted while she ate and we even picked her up... Now the only time she gets mad is if you try to pick her up or have the scent of another cat around her without the cat actually being there... She doesn't hurt anyone when she's picked up but she does stick her claws out to let you know she doesn't like it... She will sometimes try to get down when you pick her up... Also I remember getting a metal Pokemon tin full of Pokemon cards from my friend who had a cat and when I brought the tin home my cat started sniffing it and started hissing... I tried to get the tin she was next to and she ended up scratching me... I did end up washing the tin and when she sniffed it again she calmed down... My friend told me his cat did rub against the tin when I told him about how my cat was acting... I had to take 2 big sheets of paper that were rolled up to pet her so that she was distracted long enough for me to get the tin right next to her before I was able to wash it... I have a scar on my finger from that time she scratched me...
I have to say that this works!! It only took four days and I have the cutest sweetest kitty now. The first couple of days I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to settle this one down. She’s a feral kitten that was born under my porch. So socializing with my three dogs has not been an issue because she’s known them her whole life. I am excited and I’m so happy that I found this video so that I could keep this little kitten!!!
the fact that u named his sister apple and him crabapple is SENDING ME
The noises he makes when he’s being lifted... my heart can’t take it

I don't know why but the way his eyes are when snuggling make him look terrified but also adorable at the same time. He's so cute though.

He was only mildly spicy to begin with, but once I'd fed him and petted him while he ate he was super cuddly and not shy at all. My kids played with him all weekend and by the time we took him in, he was the nicest kitty. We kept tabs on him at the shelter and he was adopted 5 days later. It made a big impact on all my kids, it was such a great experience!

As always, solid advice. Hope Crabapple found a good home.
We got kittens acclimated by playing with toys on fishing lines , treats and petting with stuffed animals/gloves. Lots of love can win over young ones. Toys on fishing poles are great.

Being uplifted from their usual surroundings must be like being a victim of alien abduction! No wonder they are scared and hissy.

Watching this video again two years after rescuing two feral kittens. Followed every step and it worked perfectly. A very happy family thanks you so very much.
His little grumpy face 😡 is soooo cute ❤️
Intro: *Crabapple uses multiple hisses* *also makes a cute meowy noise after the last hiss* Everyone: 😍😂😍😂😍😂
Also if you consider making a T-shirt that says "spice level: mild" with the kitty in a purrito, I won't be mad about it
You called him crabapple, that’s hilarious 😭
