Right next door to my grandma's house, a neighbor's cat had kittens. The cat was an outdoor cat, and ever since she had her kittens, she's been really aggresive towards humans and protective of her kittens. As an outcome, the kittens have become feral. They are terrified of humans and won't come anywhere near us. We leave food out for them.However, my Grandma lives in the country, right next to the highway. And ever since he was a little boy, my dad always had at least one cat around. Almost all of them ended up hit on that highway. I'm afraid the kittens are gonna end up exactly that: Road-kill, but they won't trust me or anyone no matter what I do! Any suggestions?

well. you can try trapping them with humane traps. they tried catching kittens this way in a university near my house. the only problem was, some were to light and the trap didnt get them. but, you can try.

Thanks for the idea! I'll suggest it to my Grandma and their neighbors.

But where will the kittens go once you've got them? It's pretty obvious that they aren't going to live well with humans, and there's no way you can send them to the pound.

well, if they'r still little kittens u can "tame" them. my friend did that with her 2 cats. she got them as stray kittens in the university. at first they were very shy, but now they love ppl. i think it'll work. at least they wont get run over by cars....

I hink your right. I helped one of my friends tame a kitten that was very scraed or humans. She turned out out really good. N ow, she cant stand being away from people.
I thjink you should take the kittens to your place if your parnets will alow you. You can tame them, then find them good homes.

I've had a few kittens I took in from the street. One became really tame and friendly, the others ran off and were never seen again. But even if they do settle down, it can be dangerous. We all know what most people are like, if they become to trusting of us, and one day they meet the wrong sort. Their poor lives will be forfieght.
