It's #WittleWhiskersWednesday! 🐈💛🐈💙🐈 To tame feral kittens, slowly move food bowl/spoon/treat onto your lap. Once on lap and distracted by food, gradually sneak your hand behind his head to pet head/shoulders gently. #kittenseason #fosterkittens #tnr #catsofbluesky #bideawee

It's #WittleWhiskersWednesday! 🐈💛🐈💙🐈 Food is the No. 1 taming tool for feral kittens. Why? Their growing bodies need lots of food, so it's a great incentive for them to approach us despite their fear. #kittenseason #fosterkittens #tnr #catsofbluesky #bideawee

It's #WittleWhiskersWednesday! 🐈💛🐈💙🐈 Always trap, never grab feral kittens! Being chased down and grabbed by human hands is traumatic and sabotages the socialization process. #kittenseason #fosterkittens #tnr #catsofbluesky #bideawee

It's #WittleWhiskersWednesday! 🐈💛🐈💙🐈 Feral kittens 8w+ are harder to socialize than younger ones 'cuz mom has taught them to fear humans. But it's still worth trying food-based taming techniques. If no success in 2w, #TNR is best option. #kittenseason #fosterkittens #catsofbluesky #bideawee

Bideawee's Feral Cat Initiative @nycfci.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

It's #WittleWhiskersWednesday! 🐈💛🐈💙🐈 6–8 weeks old is ideal age for taming (socializing) feral kittens. Why? They're growing fast, food-motivated, and open to learning a new way of life independent of Mom. #kittenseason #fosterkittens #tnr #catsofbluesky #bideawee

It's #WittleWhiskersWednesday! 🐈💛🐈💙🐈 Some kittens finish weaning to solid food within a few days, but some take longer. Once eating confidently and gaining steady weight, they can be left with ample wet food overnight. #kittenseason #fosterkittens #tnr #catsofbluesky #bideawee

Bideawee's Feral Cat Initiative @nycfci.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

It's #WittleWhiskersWednesday! 🐈💛🐈💙🐈 Healthy bottle baby kittens can begin weaning process at ∼5 weeks old. Continue to offer formula in bottle at each meal, but start offering canned kitten food/formula slurry in shallow dish. Supervise! #kittenseason #fosterkittens #tnr #catsofbluesky #bideawee

It's #WittleWhiskersWednesday! 🐈💛🐈💙🐈 Kitten weaning usually starts around 5 weeks old, when premolar teeth start to emerge, but it's a journey, not a destination! Weaning should be a gradual process — let each kitten take the lead. #kittenseason #fosterkittens #tnr #catsofbluesky #bideawee

Some #TNR caretakers help protect their #communitycats #feralcats #straycats from #fireworks fear around #july4th #4thofjuly by giving them an extra big meal during the day so if they need to hide out after dark, they won't be so hungry. #catsofbluesky #bideawee

It's #WittleWhiskersWednesday! 🐈💛🐈💙🐈 To check for dehydration in kittens under 2 weeks old, inspect lower belly between thighs. If skin is puckered, wrinkled, pale instead of smooth, plump, pink, the kitten is dehydrated. #kittenseason #fosterkittens #tnr #catsofbluesky #bideawee
