This is also a problem rehabbers can face! Some patients just don't want to go, they had the good life and absolutely refuse to wild back up. This is why minimizing direct handling and human socialization as much as possible is a key step.

It's easy to see why people can think of wild animals like pets when you see them act like that. We all want the same basic thing, in the end. To be comfortable.

I have 3 cats, 1 used to be feral. She is the one that goes outside the least and is now a pillow kween. It took her years to be comfortable with me but now she hugs me back. :) She's become quite mischievous and chatty too.

Everyone wants to be comfortable is a phrase people should remember more.
