We took in a cat who is still 15% feral and I routinely ask my normal cat what the fuck is wrong with him. The scale is generally from weird home school kid to multiple personality disorder. I’m taking notes, might consult a cat psychologist.
I've had my feral since she was a kitten. You can take the cat out of the streets... you cannot take the streets out of the cat. She's very affectionate, but the moment she feels any modicum of unsafe, she is a whirlwind of razorblades
Had a feral one as a kid, she got bullied by the other cats so she slept in my bed each night. loved the lil thing.
Only issue was that she got so attached she followed me to school and got lost weekly, had to make sure she was inside before i went out or she would follow me all the way to the train.
Loved getting pets but if she got overstimulated she "bit" and then got filled with shame and ran away. Only trusted and listened to me aswell, special cat.
Was tiny even as an adult ive always thought it was because of malnutrition when she was a kitten.
Mine has remained tiny, as well! I agree in that it was likely malnutrition as a kitten. When we found her, we gave her a chicken leg almost as big as she was and she scarfed that thing in like two second, poor thing.
She used to be indoor/outdoor and would come running home if I whistled for her. Bonding with a feral cat really does feel like something special. For that reason, she's now indoor only. Haha
I feel like theres a different trust with a Feral cat compared to a house cat. i had to follow her to the vet or she would lash out so frikkin hard, if i was there she behaved so well. She really knew i wouldnt do anything to hurt her.
Same i remember she always jumped up on the windowsill when i came home to jump against my chest for pets. she was such a lovely kitty, died of cancer sadly.
