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

How old are they? And do you know when they first had human socialization? (I know something on the topic, my wife is literally pro at it.)

They're about six months and they've never had human socialization except from me feeding them. Just local strays.

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.

If you don't, it is certainly lost, which is a good reason. But I'm a story kind of guy.
