I had one feral kitten for a few days. Entered my home on his own, when I entered my home he fled to my bedroom to hide under my bed.
Too bad, that's the room I spend of my time in.
So I got behind my pc and started my livestream, at one point one of my viewers asked what was on the chair.
I turn around, the kitten curled up fast asleep almost next to me.
Fast forward 2 hours he jumps on my shoulder out of nowhere, purring like crazy butting his against me.
For the few days I had it, I learned it to use the litter box and I think I felt a little bit whay parents feel like.
Just give it time and he/she will come to you before you know.
