Apparently my little girls mummy was Feral (or part) - which could explain why Cruz (black & white) was very hissy when we first got them (8wks old). Both of them now are very affectionate and love nothing more than curling up for cuddles on our laps. Pic is when they were about 4mths old

OK I still need to know. How can you tell a feral from a domestic?

The point of this thread was to show that You can`t once you have put the effort in and earned the cats trust. Ex ferals can be amongst the most loving cats in the world once you have earned their trust. They use litter trays and are no more destructive than domestic cats.
The only domestic cat pictured was the Found tabby one, and Tula, Fuchsia and Ivan the terrible all arrived here aged 3years plus from totally feral backgrounds.
So anyone to thinking of taking an ex feral on dont be put off Go for it

Ellie Ivan has never been called handsome before, the poor boy has all sorts of allergies even down to ears that curl up when he is suffering, we either say he looks well today or poor Ivans suffering today

I read this out loud to her Gill, and have no idea what, but she humped off to the bedroom got on the bed and promptly fell asleep. Come live with me please?

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #26 on:** February 08, 2007, 20:26:24 PM »

I would have loved to have Cat and Chat but sadly 4 is my limit, wish I had known about CC when I first came here and then I would have been able to take 4 cats but of course then the 4 I have wouldnt have homes and I love em to bits.

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #21 on:** February 08, 2007, 19:08:35 PM »

Gill,
Cat and Chat have a problem with men, they growl like crazy when my poor husband goes near, finding them an all female home with someone who will continue to put the effort in is not proving easy. Fuchsia has been with us a long time, she was Growee`s best friend.

Shecat,
That is strange I used to have a black girl called Attila the hun.

Amazingly there is only one domestic cat amongst those pics.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #20 on:** February 08, 2007, 19:00:12 PM »

All those cats are stunning but of course I knew that Tula was feral. I never seen Fushia and she is so gorgeous. Cant for the like of me understand why Cat and Chat havent been snapped up cos they are so handsome.

shecat · « **Reply #19 on:** February 08, 2007, 18:58:15 PM »

Yep ,

Cat is the male version of Tilly aka Atila the Hun at the moment she is watching my husbands convalescent rat wondering when her meals on wheels are coming.

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #18 on:** February 08, 2007, 18:50:50 PM »

Shecat
Cat is towards the front of the picture, both male .

shecat · « **Reply #17 on:** February 08, 2007, 18:46:30 PM »

OK Cat and Chat
dont know which is at the front but its definately a photo of my Tilly and as far as we know she was a feral kiitten and she is the most wonderul cat you could ever have, well

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #16 on:** February 08, 2007, 18:44:35 PM »

Sorry Millys mum I`m a bit slow and missed the Cat & Cat guess.
Now the old Catchat forum people will remember these guys well, as wild as they come,been working on them over a year and Cat allows me to stroke him Chat will affectionately nibble my fingers.

The Ivan / Tabby guess was half right.

Millys Mum · « **Reply #15 on:** February 08, 2007, 18:37:48 PM »

Which post was half right, Cat & Chat or Ivan/Tabby?

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #14 on:** February 08, 2007, 18:35:08 PM »

Milly`s mum your slipping , last guess was only half right

Millys Mum · « **Reply #13 on:** February 08, 2007, 18:31:35 PM »

Winnie said she doesnt want any more polish, shes shiny enough and it tastes funny

She has the expression of who me?!

Found tabby/ Ivan look like stray toms to me. Found tabby is abit close to the camera...

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #12 on:** February 08, 2007, 18:28:43 PM »

Tula is adorable...

I would take a guess as the Found Tabby...the only one that has a "look" about her/him?

But then Ivan also looks a bit Mr Mr to me...hmmm

I'm not so good at this!!

Millys Mum · « **Reply #11 on:** February 08, 2007, 18:28:18 PM »

Cat & Chat? Im stealing all the guesses muwhahahahah

Millys Mum · « **Reply #10 on:** February 08, 2007, 18:26:35 PM »

Tula may be podgy but she has a slight squint in one eye, just keeping watch on everything!

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #9 on:** February 08, 2007, 18:22:42 PM »

Very good Polly and Winnie were the 2 mersey ferals attacked by dogs,Polly is a love but Winnie still needs some polish.
You are so right about them making themselves look comfy.

Still more ferals there Though, it just shows what wonderful housecats they make.

Kittybabe most of our rescues end up portly though Tula`s weight shot up because of medication for a skin problem.

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #8 on:** February 08, 2007, 18:18:17 PM »

is that how you know? mmmm...interesting. I would have pegged Tula as a domestic as she looks nice and portly. But what do i know!!

Millys Mum · « **Reply #7 on:** February 08, 2007, 18:16:49 PM »

Polly & Winnie are my next guesses

I know how ferals make themselves at home and they both look very comfy!

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #6 on:** February 08, 2007, 18:15:03 PM »

Milly`s Mum what made you think that about the very loving Fuchsia and Tula ?
Well Done
Both Fuchsia and Tula were trapped by us when they were heavily pregnant, neither had a safe colony to go back to and spent many months with teeth bared and claws out, they now live a life of domestic bliss and enjoy being stroked but not picked up.

Any more?

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #5 on:** February 08, 2007, 18:08:49 PM »

how can you tell??

Millys Mum · « **Reply #4 on:** February 08, 2007, 18:04:55 PM »

Fuchsia and Tula are definately feral

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #3 on:** February 08, 2007, 17:34:38 PM »

Crikey! They all look domestic! I knew ferals could easily pass for domestic but how do you really tell the difference?

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #2 on:** February 08, 2007, 17:03:10 PM »

And a few more
Feral or domestic ?
