It’s usually said that if you don’t tame a feral kitty by the time they’re eight weeks old, your chances of being success go way down. It’s said that you might as well just forget it with an adult cat.
Magic is 3 or 4 years old.
But then I think about our Jiro, the feral kitty we found and trapped in our back yard. He was a full year, and truly wild. He was quite frightened of humans, and being in a strange new place. It took months of patience, but he is now a happy lap kitty who really loves his family and his life.
Magic could go to a barn home, but I don’t want her to have to make that transition as winter is coming. So I will accept the challenge of Magic. I’ll keep her through the winter and we’ll see what happens.
