    Aww, they yielded to the grips of their fears, knowing that the human strokes at the end were truly priceless. :clap:

    It's interesting because I myself was never into kittens, I'm afraid I might accidentally step on them or crush them with a furniture. They seem soooo tiny and vulnerable :( Plus having adult cats, I have more fur and body to massage on :yess: Lucky for the little guy that you helped with the...

    We bought a toy that has a stick and feather, he seems scared of it. We are thinking of using treats and have our fingers and eventually our whole hand be associated with rewards. If that doesn't work, we will look into that "hand tool". :salam:

    Yes, he is a brave cutie! We are surprised how fast he is getting used to his environment. ;) How were you able to get the feral tom cats to be accustomed to your touch? Did you use some sort of touch stick in the beginning?

    Thank you for the kind words and wellness wishes. I will pass this along to Ruff. :heartshape: He has improved a lot, his fur back then was dry and brittle and now it looks smooth Pantene soft and silky. Hoping he continues to be in optimal health.

    Hi all, My family have recently adopted this feral cat who never had human interaction before. He never let any of us touch him, but he was really struggling in the streets so we decided to get him some help. A local cat organization trapped him and neutered him, he had to have his teeth...
