Answer 1

****IT JUST DOESNT TRUST YOU YET****

its a new kitten he/she has to get used to you.  play with it and get a laser pointer and shine it everywhere(but not its eyes.)  Be nice!  Give it treats!!

Answer 2

If you found it, chances are it has had little to no contact with people.  It is most likely feral, meaning wild.

Sometimes, if young enough, you can teach them that people are good and it will accept your affection.  Typically though, feral cats cannot be tamed, especially by people with little to no experience with them.

I suggest trying to be as quiet as possible, offering treats, toys, food and water... but let him/her get comfortable.  If this doesn't help after a week or so, perhaps contact a local shelter with a no kill policy.  They may be able to work with the lil guy.

g'luck i hope you can save the lil thing

Answer 3

It might take a little bit for it to trust you..it's hissing because it is scared and maybe a little wild..if you talk soothing words to it..and maybe with a little bit of softened cat food..depending on how old you think it is..you might even be able to coax it to you to trust you..a good tip would be that you aren't going to want to try and pet it while it's eating because most cats don't liked to be touched while they are eating...and you are going to want to be careful about feeding it milk also because I found out the hard way (and from my vet) that cats are able to tolerate milk or they won't..and you'll know soon enough if your kitten is lactose-intolerant because it will cause them to have the diahrrea...or loose bowels..which brings up another point is that you are going to want a litter box if you plan on keeping your new pet indoors because they will use a litter box if it is clean enough but otherwise they will go somewhere in your house and the last place they'll go is in the toilet like us humans...good luck with this..take care and please let me wish PEACE to you and all those you love...;0)

Answer 4

The Kitten is just scared, pick it up even though he is scared, hold him and pet his head, talk softly to him, do this for about 5-10 minutes then put him down again, wait a while about 30min to 1 hr, and do this again, after a couple of days he will trust you, offer him tuna or canned food, something he cant refuse
