Hi :-)
my husband and i brought home 2 kittens last night. there was a women with a BUNCH of cats and kittens that was giving them away for free, so we took 2... a brother and sister. the boy is older than the girl by a couple months. when we had them in the car the boy threw up a 2 or 3 times but was pretty calm. he sat in the backseat and dozed off a bit. the girl hid. she either wanted to be in the box or under the seat. when we got home we gave them both baths (which they did NOT like AT ALL!) the boy warmed up to us after we got him dry and pet him. but the girl still hides. she hides in her litter box or ANYWHERE really. she lets us hold her but she doesn't like it... and ANY chance she gets she runs. she hisses when we walk by or come near her. we watched the 2 cats together and they like each other. he cleans her and she comes out of her litter box and runs to him when she doesn't know we are in the room. this morning when we woke up the boy was acting like he was scared of us again... but warmed up after a bit.
anyway, i was just wondering if there are any ways to get her to adapt to this new place better and if there is anything we can do to make her like us :-) lol it would be greatly appreciated! thank you.
by the way they are both currently unaltered!
