Carol~keeping cats out of plants and taming ferals

[Guest guest]

Hi -

 

I've tamed several feral cats and the best way I've found is to let them be

present while you interact with a tame cat who trusts you already. They

will take their cues from the tame cat. Another way that has worked well

for me is, when you have them neutered/spayed, take them home a little

groggy. That way, you will be able to touch them. They seem to remember

that you were the one to nurse them back to recovery (and forget that you

were the one who brought them to the vet to begin with!).

 

A trick for keeping cats out of plants, both indoors and out, is to spread

grated orange rind in the soil around the plant. They don't like the smell.

 

hth,

Sandy

Thanks Sandy for your comment below, if there is one thing that I have an

abundance of here its oranges , its all we eat during the winter. I will try

this today. Have a great weekend..
