Can feral cats be tamed?

There's problems with this, but in some senses, accomodations can be reached. They will probably not be inclined to be "lap kitties", and they'll want to be outdoor cats, but they'll "let" you set out a bowl for them, and hang around your house in general.

Yes and no. You can take a feral cat in, house it, feed it, and over a long period of time gain its trust. It may even allow you to pet it sometimes, or MAYBE on a blue moon hold it for a few seconds, but you're never going to make an adult feral cat into a lap cat or a cuddle bug.

That being said if you take in a pregnant feral cat and handle the kittens the kittens will grow up tame. Past six weeks of age this becomes increasingly difficult to do. Feral cats can be excellent mousers on farms and are even very useful members of said farm (as long as their population is under control) but that does not mean they will garner a 'pet' relationship with the owner of the property.

They're either working animals or a nuisance. If you feel bad enough for them to take one in you will do so at your own risk. Besides not becoming completely docile feral cats also have a tendency to maintain wild behaviors like marking their territory by peeing all over it or hunting - even if its prey ends up being your kids' hamster.

Or perhaps they'll defend their territory by beating the tar out of any other cats you might have. These are not exactly great pet qualities.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
