Hi all - This group has been amazingly helpful in the past, & I need your help again! A feral cat I feed daily has recently been given birth and she, and one of her kittens (I suspect the kitten is about 6-8 weeks old) spend a lot of time in our courtyard. I have known the 'mummy' cat for almost a year now - at first she was very wary of me &, although I think she will never be a lap cat, she does allow minimal stroking when I come out to feed her. But her kitten, although somewhat intrigued by me, runs and hides as soon as I get within 6 feet. I put a little saucer of food down for it, which it comes and eats, once I've backed away a little. I wondered if anybody had any advice on how to patiently coax such a kitten out of its fear of human contact? Many thanks (I will post some pictures of said mum& kitten soon!!)
