Emerald I aggree with your second paragraph...
As for the first.. it isn't as easy as say having an already tamed animal, but it ain't impossible.. you just got to treat it... I dunno.. like another living thing worthy of respect perhaps?
Anyways the un-domesticated animal I currently am training(or was before I came down with my cold) is of species never domesticated by man, however my particular specimen, while not raised around many humans, has had human contact.. good human contact. so it nows we aren't cruel and it nows if it behaves itself we behave ourselves etc... but you should see it if I treat it like a normal dog... that thing has SHARP teeth.. i mean ouch... you really gotta watch your step. this thing is thrice the size of any cat I have seen and I wouldn't fear it in a dark alley.. so I would be willing to try and tame a feral cat(ok maybe not.. I really do HATE cats).
