Slow progress with the feral kittens. Doubt they'll ever become really friendly but I got the injured one licking and chewing my fingertips.

They're feral, they come around for food. I've been looking after neighborhood strays for years now.
-
Yeah, I'd picked up that general background from other posts. I approve of the work, for what it matters.

Kittens over 8 weeks can rarely be socialized to humans as pet cats. Dogs are markedly different.
-
As you know, it's possible to make *some* headway with older kittens, but rare to really human-socialize. You know socialization windows?
-
Yeah, I do. I've adopted two strays from the neighborhood and found a home for a third, but there's always more.

The local matriarch didn't warm up to me until she was 2 years old, it was very sudden.
-
That suggests she had human exposure when younger, but it's hard to really know. Good it happened with you, though!

Her story is long and strange, I should write it down sometime.
