Hi everyone. My mom and I have recently trapped 2 kittens out of a litter. We still are trying to catch the mother cat and the remaining baby (which we think is a male), but they come around our house all the time for food so it shouldn't be too difficult.
Anyways, the two we caught are probably about 5 months old, both girls. We named the tabby Sydney and the mixed calico Honey. They've both been spaid, gotten shots, and have great health. My question is, what are some good ways to domesticate ferals? I've tried spending a lot of time petting and coaxing both to come out, but they usually don't want much to do with me. They hide most of the time behind things or crawl together through our one cabinet into the drawer above and nestle in there together (which is very cute but not very helpful).
Sydney is better than her sister because we caught her earlier on, and I had more time to get to know her. She'll come out for me on occasion with her tail up and rub against my hands for affection, however when other people come she hides immediately. Any advice or tips?
