... had a first hand experience with feral cats and kittens. If puppies can adopt to the new human environment fairly quickly I can't say that about felines even after 8 years... sorry, don't believe it.
We started the process of adopting a feral cat 3 years ago. It took a very long time to get him to trust us, but now he sleeps between us on the couch while we watch TV, and he tries to sleep on my pillow every night. When I retake my pillow he tries to sleep on my head. Some ferals will accept you as far as they can, and will remain with you even if they never seem to actually love you. Other ferals turn into housecats who behave as if they'd been with you since they were kittens.
“Meet Atlas! I adopted him when I was stationed in Florida. It’s been 3 years and he’s about to do his second military move! He spent his first week of freedom stealing rotisserie chickens off the kitchen counter. Sneaky is an understatement.”
