Experts? (spit)
The “experts” were two people that actually ran a feral/stray cat rehab place. One lady was in my county and the other lady in a separate county. They had advised this: if a kitten is over 3 months old (male) and 2 months (female).. the possibility of socialization is small. If they are successful, it would take months and months of intensive interaction. SK was about 4-5 months based on her teeth and female. One lady actually told me the “kind” thing to do would be to put her down and adopt a small kitten. We had an intense family discussion and came to the conclusion that we were willing to put in the time/effort and we were the only ones that this kitten had in the world. Five months later.. she loves the girls and is “warming” up to the men in the household. Okay.. she’s a bit weird but what cat isn’t? LOL!
