I touched my feral cat visitor two days in a row.
He only tolerates it for a moment, but progress is being made.

3. Feral sounds kind of dirty.
I know exactly what you're talking about, and I'm glad you're making progress with the little guy...

but every time I see the word "feral" I'm like...going to be locked!

6. Never heard that before
But feral does imply a wild and uncontrolable animal, not to be tamed easily. hmmmm

5. Impressive!

Look into his eyes for a quick moment and blink. This shows that you're relaxed and not aggressive. Don't stare at his eyes to long, or he will think you're aggresive.

Just wait until he figures out that humans give good chin scratchings.

Good luck!

8. Keep at it!! It took me 2 1/2 weeks of sitting outside at 5:30 am
with food to finally capture my Slick, a min pin who had wandered for 8 months (!!!).
Same Slick now snuggles up every night with me...

it's worth the effort....
