Ihave these 2 sisters that have lived on my porch under my grill for a few months . We give them food and water and shelter under the grill but they are still feral. They will come very close to us they have been a centimeter away from me before but i would like to know how to tame them they arent very scared of us so i think tameing them would be possible

once cats are feral, it's very rare that they're tamed. you can feed them, give them shelter, water, and maybe eventually you can play with them and pet them, but to TAME them to act like pet cats, that's not very likely. my aunt takes care of about 6 feral cats and they're all very "tame"ish...she feeds them, gives them shelter and water, but they're not pets. they're feral

It's not. I've tried to tame cats, and it doesn't work if they're already beyond kittenhood. You can feed them, give them water, and in time they may allow you to pet them, but don't be fooled - they will always be wild.

It going to be very difficult. The cat rescue I volunteer for says that after 4 months old, it's nearly impossible to change them.

get a trap from your animal shelter and catch them and get them inside and they will be tamed easier. Mush easier!
