My cat was “living rough” for the first six months of his life - he was born to a cat who was living feral in a derelict building.
Luckily a rescue centre got involved and took the cats in, at which point my boy was six months old.
He then spent another six months at the rescue centre before being rehomed with us.
Two years later he is the most gorgeous cat, who loves a cuddle and a stroke (tho he is still wary around strangers to begin with).
I’m kind of surprised he’s been able to go from being feral to being perfectly happy in a domestic setting in such a short time, especially considering the difficult start he had in life.
Is he unusual or is this the norm among cats like mine?
