We've basically resolved on keeping Piper and Poppy indoors. I know if we give them to the animal shelter they will be adopted separately, and left outdoors.
One thing is - being indoors, and siblings, will they be more acceptant of other cats? For the short period of one night that we had other kittens in the house, Poppy hissed a bit, but Piper seemed to like to watch the other kittens. I really want them as socialized as possible, because I can't give up fostering - but i know it'll be hard because the future fosterers will roam the house after a few weeks. I'm not asking for snuggle-time but some politeness would be nice. Coriander despised any foster cats we brought home, maybe because we got her at 6 weeks and she was always bullied by our other cats. Will Piper and Poppy like other cats more because they are sisters, or will they form a 'clique' behaviour and attack fosters?? I really wanted to keep them together because I figure if nothing else they can occupy each others time when i need it for fostering.
