I just adopted two semi-feral kittens (feral 'til week 8). In the week that I've had them, they've stopped hiding and now run to greet me, purring and rubbing against my ankles. Little lovers!
They have their own room until they get a little bit bigger. I work from home and spend at least 1 1/2 hours/day playing with them, mainly with the feather wand (I check in for pets every single hour!). They are semi-interested in crinkle balls, but not really interested in the 3-way crinkle tunnel, the catnip mice, the little catnip balls, laser pointer, or large rope toy. I can't leave the feather wands or Cat Dancer down when I'm not there/choking hazard. What can they entertain themselves with while I'm working? They have a kitten hammock (not interested) and a pyramid scratcher (not interested). Mildly interested in that electric feather-wand-under-whirling-fabric toy. I ordered a kitten-sized perch, which should come soon. What can I buy that can be left down for them to play with?
Also - these two guys are the runt and the biggest of the litter. The bigger kitten is very considerate of the smaller one - doesn't take his food or his toys, even when he can. A very sweet guy. The little one is quite small, just a couple of pounds for being 10 weeks old. Is there anything special that I should be doing to nurture him?
Any other kitten tips? (We have a senior cat, but we're withholding intros for at least a month)
