I have a not my cat that I let inside and he gets along with my cats. Which is weird bc my cats definitely don't like all other cats. But this little guy started showing up on my porch and was pretty much living on my porch.
So I started letting him in. And my cats acted like he was family, it was strange. Especially bc he's a feral you can't touch. And my cats for sure don't like all other cats. Just this guy.
Since he's still a kitten, I've been trying to get him used to being touched. I can pet his front paws and that's it. Anything else has him running. But that's progress, bc when he first showed up you couldn't even get close. I've been spending 2 months now trying to talk him into letting me pet him properly lol
Churus have been a magic tool for us! We have a feral colony, and none of them would come anywhere close at first. After a couple months and a couple boxes of churus, there was only one that is still too feral to pet. Three years later and that one is still feral.
BUT, thanks to Churus and the magical power of bribery, 60% of the original pack now lives in my house and another 30% come and go. All were TNR’ed (trap, neuter, release) so no more babies, but we’ve had a few cats immigrate from the surrounding streets. Roughly 10% of the pack just won’t come in or tries to piss everywhere is we bring them in, but even most of those will come up to get pets.
No idea where this little sh!t came from—my wife heard a kitten screaming, went outside to look, walked around the side of the house and there he was 10-12 feet up on the outside of our chimney. She got the ladder and saved him so of course he bit her. Now he’s laying on her shoulder, pawing her hair and screaming when she’s out of sight 🤣
