I just got a 6 week old kitten but I have been having a few problems. I didnt know until after I brought her home that she was basically raised by humans. Her mother is an outside cat that I assume breast feed the kittens and went back to the outside and her father is a feral cat.
So she tends to freak out whenever I hold her by the back of her neck to calm her down which tells me her mother never raised her. She cries constantly for food, attention, to be picked up, and anything really which tells me she was picked up whenever she cries. She doesnt clean herself, and she hides and wont go to her food or litterbox unless someone is with her. She just doesnt seem to have any independence or knows how to be a cat.
Does anyone have any advice or tips on how to raise her to be more like a cat and less like a person.
