Re: [Felvtalk] good news about the kitten
Hi, Kathryn. You're right - these folks are the best ever! When I introduced my very inquisitive, rambunctious, 75 lb. dog to the litter of kittens I rescued last fall, I had him on a collar and lead, and put him on a down, stay a lot. The kittens had been here for about 3 weeks, in their own room, and he was used to their scent and knew something very special was behind the door. He was very happy to finally see what it was. We took it slowly and all of the kittens ended up being dog lovers!

Re: [Felvtalk] good news about the kitten
Kathryn, There is a Yahoo Feral cat group that has some great files on taming stray cats. http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/feral_cats/ The key is to take it one step at a time and take it slow.

Re: [Felvtalk] good news about the kitten
I strongly suggest that you get some Feliway spray (maybe from your vet??) I have had wonderful luck with itincluding with a full grown cat who had been through lots of traumas and was forced, very much against her will, to live with me (Daddy's death, charges in the house [ furniture moved, people in and out etc ], Mom's physical problems etc--no abuse unless you ask Kitty). Bach's Rescue Remedy in the water of your little one and the dogs should help too. Put clothes, pillow cases or something that smells strongly of you in the carrier then, later, rub the dogs with a cloth and put near him and something that smells strongly of him near the dogs. Everyone needs to learn how the others smell. Honest. I had a stuffed cat that I put with Copper and Thomas (they were younger and definitely feral). Just something to curl up with. Copper is very independent but, a year later, Thomas still cuddles with me or with Copper when he can. It is reassuring. You have done good. You are in for a very rewarding experience.
