Answer 1

Answer 2

Depends what kind of cat, but remember there are very, very few wild animals that can be tamed. Domestic cats have been selectively bred for hundreds of years - you can't expect wild cats to switch from wild to domestic with just one individual. It will always be fickle, unhappy in captivity and, depending on species, dangerous.

I couldn't imagine why you'd want to, but in theory it could be done if you left food out for it at a certain time every night, and then it would perhaps let you get close to it. But taking them from the wild (as well as bein entirely unethical) wouldn't work: they wouldn't take to domestic conditions.

Here is an excerpt from a diary written by someone who lived in the wilds of Scotland, had a lot of experience with wild creatures, and tried to tame some wildcats:

"As long as I had known her it had been an ambition of hers to possess a young specimen of this mammal. I believe I am right in saying that there is no recorded instance of one ever having been tamed, even when reared from the bottle...the nearest she came to success was in being able eventually to approach them without being spat at."
It goes on...
"From the moment the kits were let out of the basket they were handled with leather gloves - they were five weeks' old then - and gloves it remained during their entire sojourn with us. I still think it curious that these small beasts, which had only known their mother for a very short period, should never come to accept their human owners in the slightest degree."

Eventually the cats had to be penned outside. They were most unhappy and pined for the wild, so the owners let them out - but they just died there and then.

Answer 3

If you are talking about taking a feral cat that has been living in the "wild" for awhile it is near impossible, not to mention extremely dangerous (even if you are talking about a small domestic species).

As far as turning it tame you never can fully tame any animal... but you can modify behavior through training, love, etc.

If you are talking about some local wild stray I would just leave it alone... if you are talking about a wild stray who has given birth to kittens and they are in trouble the only thing to do is really remove the kittens as soon as it is safe for both you and the kittens. If you were to take the adult cat in to a shelter it would just be destroyed. Like I said, feral cats are NOT something you want to mess with.

My advice... leave all wild cats alone!

It's best to let him grow up with you, do something every day with him about the same time each day. If he is older, there are special schools that you can take him to. Try PetCo. They can and will help you.
