Reply #8: I think I am _very slowly_ getting somewhere taming them. [View All]

I'm a vegetarian, but I now put meat out for them along with their dry food. They wait for me to show up with the dry food, and they go for the meat. They let me get very close now - within 2 feet. But they still won't let me catch them.

I have a feeling showing them my brood-who follow me around outside and jump on my back and climb my head and sit there, when I go out with them at night, will be the final part to taming the mother.

Its worked for other cats in the neighborhood. The problem is these cats are out my front door in a busy parking lot and my cats go out my back door at night, in a grassy areas between buildings.

If I could get the kittens to come around to the back, I'm sure they would enter my back door and go eat like every other cat in the neighborhood does.

The little black kitten will be harder to tame. He doesn't let me get that close and he acts more wild.

You can't tell from the top pics but the momma kitty is very small, half the size of my other adult cats - I mean literally half the length. She is very young. Her kittens are very small too. They look bigger because in the pic she looks like an average size cat. I figure at the most she could be a year but she is nowhere near full grown.
