Caught a feral kitten, at what age do they start to spit & hiss?

We have feral cats who moved into the old barn. This kitten is old enough to eat moist canned food. Yet young enough not to spit/hiss. It's so thin, any food ideas would help also.

    We caught a feral kitten once that was about 5-6 weeks old and was already spitting and hissing. She calmed down quickly though because we gave her canned food and we'd mix a bit of egg with some milk. Cats love that and it also helps make their coats nice and shiny.

    My kittens didnt hiss for ages however they weren't feral..

    just give them half a canned of tined food

    and always have dry biscuit food and fresh water so they can eat it whenever..

    Also maybe build a little cosy corner for the kitten to sleep in so it knows you are friendly and won't try and scratch and hiss when youc ome next tiem

    they could be youthful adequate to catch, the difficulty in in simple terms being affected person. Get a stay catch and depart nutrition and water in it. it will cause them to be greater worried in the beginning up reason they make a noisy snap whilst they close, yet we've efficiently caught many feral kittens this way. the quicker you catch them the greater efficient danger you have of having very loving cats. I woulnt reccomend the condensed milk. in case you pick directly to place some thing out, you ought to purchase KMR (kitten milk replacer) that's relatively inexpensive. i think of we sell it for around 6 funds a can. it may take it sluggish, yet they might come around as they get used to you. stable luck. Youre doing an mind-blowing difficulty!
