Re: The Taming of Three Wild Kittens!!! Vicious
Do not, I repeat:
DO NOT declaw a cat, unless you absolutely want an angry cat all the time, especially females.
Cats use their claws to protect themselves from threats.
If you declaw one, and then have it live in a household with other cats that still have their claws, you are going to have one very unhappy cat. And it WILL take its anger out on YOU.
As for getting feral cats to calm down, as others have said, just leave them to their own devices in your house, but every time you see them, talk to them, and be gentle with them. They will come around pretty quick, as they are watching you all the time, and will sooner or later figure out that you're in charge of things, and aren't a threat.
