can a year old feral cat be tamed....??

[Cataholic]

Gosh. I am going to have to say that I really don't know if one can 'tame' a feral cat. While I would bow to the wisdom of K & L here, I can only relate my story of my cat, Minnie. I have had Minnie now for years, 3 maybe? And, she still lives in the closet, still runs from me, still cowers, etc. Sure, there has been progress. She does come out every night now (and poop and pee in Jonah's room ), but, she is still very anti-human.

Gosh some of your stories were very inspiring and helpful, I am not sure I am the person who is able to do this to be honest, I have to really think long and hard about this, i could just continue to feed her if this neighbour leaves in the new year and keep an eye on her, i have mixed emotions and not sure what is the best to do for her, I cannot take her in myself, so really even if I tamed her , there is not many who will want to adopt her is there? oh well for now I will have to concentrate on getting them spayed and take it from there., Thanks a lot for the advice .

I just saw her today out with her kitten, she appears to have only one, the other sadly was dead, maybe she only ever had two is that possible, I am hoping to rescue bubs this weekend, and out to the shelter with it, and then trap mama for spaying, geez I am not sure i am cut out for all of this, it is very draining and worrying, but i have to do something., I always knew I was not cut out for fostering or rescuing ,now I am doing it all the same.
