It is really different with feral raised kitties than domestics. Even if you get them early like I did with Lucy at 2 days old, they always have a bit of that wildness in their genes or something. My other 2, Sadie and Bruiser still seem to have the skittish thing going on like ferals, they will not come out when their are strangers or even people they have met are in the house, yet they let my grand babies carry them all over when we have sleepovers. Lucy has a thing where she has to go for Walks outside with us everyday and is totally opposite by the fact she fears nothing. I remember when Lucy was little, she stood out from the other kitties because she was so smart and fearless, that's what made me keep her :-) now I wish she at least feared my reprimands haha, but she doesn't, that's why it was so funny that she behaved when Gizmo got sprayed by the water bottle, like she was offended that I reprimanded her puppy, even though she did not respond at all to herself being reprimanded. I guess the way to go with Lucy, is not reprimanding her, but reprimand the puppy so she behaves, wanting to keep her puppy out of trouble lol. |
