The "owner" clearly hasn't interacted with real cats.

If you don't raise them with humans since they are born, they can't be tamed.

That's not always the case. Some feral cats from colonies that are TNRed are found to be very receptive to humans and instead of returned sometimes offered for adoption instead of returned (the R in TNR)

However these come from a centuries-long bloodline of house cats of course. A species that's never been domesticated is very different.
