Great line from a great set of videos.
The Urban Cat League in the USA has put together a series of three educational videos that will help you socialize feral kittens. Some of the tactics employed are slightly different to what I've used in the past (I would never have thought to have used baby food, for example), however, it's always good to add new strategies to your repertoire. The over-riding lesson in here is that you need to be flexible in the way you work with individual kittens and cats, as they all have different responses and pathways to socialization. The vet in the series is a real hero!

Hi Ara,
Sorry for the slow response – for some reason your comments didn't make it back through my email In Box.
Great article. Every bit helps in educating people about the joys of feral cats and indeed all cats.
Your Prince looks like my Snow (an ex-feral). In Australia we have to be careful with white cats to make sure they don't get into direct sun too much – skin cancer. I'm going to write about that soon.
