Hi guys after the exellent advise i got last year when we had a poorly kitten this is the first place i thought of asking about my most recent problem
So one of my friends works at a waste recycling plant and the other day i got a phone call from him
During moving a big pile of rubbish (about 200 tonnes) they found a feral kitten thats about 6 weeks old! Unfortunately they also found a dead adult cat that must have been little ones mother which must have being caught by the machinery
Hes asked me if a wanted to look after it as it wound certainly get killed by the machinery so i accepted
Now weve had it for a few days and things arnt going too well
Its eating and pooping fine but its not in anyway litter trained and its so skittish it wont come out from behind the furniture (even pooping there)
Weve tryed putting it in a quite roome and it still constantly hides
She (assuming it is a she) physically shakes when we pick her up
And im starting to think i might be out of my depth
Can anyone offer any advise to help her become tame/comfortable around humans
Also hkw to litter train her as she currently has no intrest in the litter tray
Many thanks
Gav
