My husband and I have been attempting to get our 4 feral kittens to explore the larger house, instead of just their safe room. At first they were shy and a bit scared but now they run and play with no fear at all. Each time we let them out it becomes increasingly harder to get them back into their room. Last night was horrible, we spent 3 hours trying to get them all back in the bathroom. I don't feel comfortable allowing them to stay up all the time (they play so much that they get overheated, are so excited they don't go to the bathroom, etc.) and I do want the ability to pick them up and bring them to their room. They have been in the bathroom for nearly 3 months now and are pretty tame when they are in the bathroom but when they are in the house they do not allow us to get too close to them to pick them up. Sometimes food works, sometimes throwing toys works but not all the time. Should we keep them in the bathroom a month or two longer or will they eventually calm down and get used to the larger space? I know they are just kittens and are having so much fun around the house but they are naughty and stubborn little guys too!
