How to tame a cat

Taming a feral cat takes time, knowledge and patience coupled with extreme caution. A feral cat is a domesticated cat that has reverted to wild and is not socialized to humans. If the cat or kitten appears healthy and you wish to attempt taming it, keep in mind these cats will be scared of you and are likely to bite. However, if you find or are given a fearful or scared stray cat or kitten that tolerates some human interaction without biting, you can try to tame it to make it an acceptable cat. You may never make an indoor cat out of it, but it may become a good outdoor kitty that tolerates you.[1] Sometimes all that is needed is plenty of patience to turn a scared kitty into a marvelous pet. Your first goal should be to make it comfortable around you. Then the cat should be taken for a very important veterinary visit to make sure it is healthy.

Part 1
Observing the Cat's Nature

*Get to know the cat's personality*
Observe the cat for a few days. This way, you can determine its nature, especially when humans come close. Is the cat afraid or scared of people? Is it angry?
If you think they may be dangerous you shouldn't try handling them. Instead, call animal control or a human society who will be able to professionally capture and handle the cat if you think they pose a danger.

*Observe the cat's body language for cues*
Cats communicate their feelings with body language that can be rather obvious. For example:
An angry or upset cat will have ears that are flattened back, dilated pupils, a tail which is switching back and forth, an arched back, and fur standing on end. The cat will typically be growling. This is a sign to back off.
If it hasn't run away, a scared cat will typically lay flat or have its tail between its legs. Proceed with caution in trying to tame these cats.
In contrast, a contented and relaxed cat's ears will be forward and alert, and its tail will be straight up in the air. Its fur will be flat (not standing on end), and the cat may even stretch, lay down, and roll onto its back.

*Observe the cat's general health*
While you will not be close to the cat, you will be able to observe its overall health from afar. [4] Check to see if it looks skinny or bony. It may be hungry. Look at its fur to see if it looks healthy, or if it looks matted, patchy, bald, or otherwise unhealthy. See if the cat has any other obvious issues, such as limping, cuts, sores, or other problems.

*Stay away from cats with suspected rabies*
Feral cats and kittens are generally unvaccinated and carry a slight risk for carrying the deadly rabies virus. While very uncommon, rabies in cats can occur primarily in outdoor, unvaccinated cats and kittens. The symptoms of rabies can vary and may take months to develop after a cat or kitten was exposed to the virus.
Classic signs of rabies in cats and kittens include an ill cat (lethargic, not eating, weakness) and/or changes in behavior (aggressive, restless, disoriented, paralysis, seizures).
If you encounter a feral cat with these symptoms, call animal control and do not attempt to handle the cat or kitten.
