Well, I'll tell you what...it is challenging to domesticate 2 feral kitties. I haven't had a good night's sleep for a week! Skitty's eye is healing very well. He has not been outside for the whole week, and will not be at least for another week.
Problem is, they are accustomed to hunkering down during the day and then filling their nights with activity. Skitty is certain there is a mouse under the covers where my feed are and will frantically dig at it to catch it.
Friend doesn't understand why his cat door isn't open anymore and thinks I should get up and let him out in the middle of the night. Skitty gets restless and runs around attacking the blankets and Friend gets fed up and attacks Skitty.
Once Skitty's eye is healed, I may force them both outside during the day so they can sleep at night. They will be fine. After 11 years, we are quite convinced that the cougars and bears don't come to our neck of the woods. Probably because there are fences in their way and too many easy places to go, and PLENTY of wild prey to be had.
IDK...you domesticate a feral cat and tell me how you did it.
These two are 11 years old and I know for sure that Skitty has never even been inside a building before. Friend has been so much easier.
