Well, my daughter’s rowing team found a litter of abandon kittens near the docks where she rowed. We’ve had the cat for a year, since she was about 3-4 weeks old. When we had her spayed, the vet’s staff called her feral. Is that a feral cat?

A feral cat is a WILD cat that has NOT been rescued in my book. SHEESH....once it’s “owned” it ain’t feral!

We rescued 2 kitties 18 years ago whose mother had been killed by a car (last one died last year)

No. Not any more.

Uh, no.

A feral cat is a wild cat. As soon as their eyes are opened their mother teaches them to be wild and to fear humans. If you can get it very very young you might be able to make a pet out of it, other wise, probably not. My mother in law had a feral cat that was about 3 months when she got it. It lived under her bed and only came out after the lights were turned out. It lived to an old age and only my m-i-l could touch it and then only at night. Not much of a pet in my estimation.

No. A feral cat is one that is born in wild and grew to adulthood without human contact. A feral cat is untamable.
