I am just wondering about this and if anyone has a suggestion would love to hear it.
I posted about getting these 2 Russian Blue kittens. The long and short of it is this. They came from a home that did not care about their animals and rarely had a litter of kittens raised old enough to wean. They went off and left them without food and water and the mother moved them and my 2 babies got left behind. Children in the neigborhood carried them around playing with them, etc. and their mother would feed them but not give them water as she did not want them urinating in the house???? And that is a mother??? Then a neighbor took them in and nursed them to health for 3 weeks and then I received the.
Sorry so long, but now here is the question. One of them will let you hold her and pet her, etc. but the other is more stand offish and will let you hold her for like 5 seconds and then she is done. She wants to be near you but not exactly with you. Is there anything I can do to encourage her to be more warm? Or is this just her personality. Could it be her traumatic short life so far? Any suggestions on how to help her?
They also eat quite often I mean like every couple of hours they are meowing for food and seem to sleep quit a bit. The lady I got them from is estimating they are around 8 weeks old.
Also, if anyone is in Texas and knows of a low cost spay/neuter clinic I could use the information. The cheapest I found is $40 but I need it cheaper than that. We are getting shots on Saturday.
Thanks for any help,
Mickee
