Feral Family Pics 1

My lovely Saffron (or Saffy for short). He's a domesticated feral. I caught him and his brother Snow when they were about six weeks old. The conversion process from wild to socialised took about three days – Saffron followed his brother's lead. After that Saffron became the more extroverted of the two, although occasionally he has bouts of shyness. He is one of those cats who makes friends with all other cats and dogs. He has an exceptionally peaceful temperament and is not in the least territorial – he can hang out with the wild cats on the hill one minutes and and then an hour later be snuggled into your lap while you are watching television or onto your bed at night. He can also be a bit of a wanderer – he likes going for a walk around the farm with me and the dogs and my hand-raised 18 month sheep in the morning. I absolutely ADORE this photo. I took it around Christmas. This pic should convince anybody of the magnificence and potential of ex feral cats!
