[quote=Anonymous]Two of the cats that live with me currently were feral cats.  I spent years acclimating them to me, with the final portion of that process taking place once they were living in my house.   I am also in the process of acclimating two more, with a goal to making house cats out of them. The two who live indoors now are very sweet and come to me for treats and petting every night.   Even if the cat never becomes friendly with you it is possible for it to acclimate to the environment.  If you can simply do this you are doing a great thing.  Cat professional lady is nuts.  I also know plenty of professional rescuers and some feral cats can be turned around.  Are you an experienced cat owner OP?  Your new cat might benefit from some Feliway to make it feel at ease as well as some catnip.  A heated cat pad will tell it where it should set up and a covered bed will make it feel safer.  You will also need a scratching post to save your furniture.  Keep the cat to one small room while you acclimate him to the cat box.  Do feeding times instead of free feeding to get him used to the idea that food comes from you.[/quote]
