I adopted two four month old kittens (they are sisters) yesterday and brought them home. I'm trying very hard to help them adjust. Yesterday, they were hiding under the kitchen table, so I sat near them and talked to them for at least two hours. I held out my hand and let them sniff me, and they let me pet them. As the evening wore on, they ventured out from under the table, ate some of their food, and used the litter box.
This morning when I got up, it feels like everything I accomplished yesterday has been undone. The kittens run away from me and are now hiding under my bed. I've attempted to coax them out, but to no avail (although they will eat kitty treats from my hand).
Here's what I am wondering, should I go about my business and hope that they come out on their own, or should I sit there and coax them?
I've wanted to get a kitten my entire life, but they seem terrified of me, and I wonder if I've done something wrong. About how long does it take for kittens to adjust to a new home?
Thank you so much.
