I have 3 around 10-11 week old feral kittens I've been trying to socialize for the last 3 weeks (I got them around 7-8 weeks). I'm making progress, but its incredibly slow and I'm pressed for time because I need to get these guys adoption ready. I socialized 4 feral kittens about 6 months ago and they came around very quickly. So far, 3 weeks in, I can touch one, but the others are still hissing and swatting at me. They'll eat out of my hand, play with the laser toy/other toys with me, eat when I'm in the room, but they just wont let me touch them. I'm starting to worry that they might just not come around.
Truthfully I can only spend about an hour a day with them because I have several other animals, including 7 other cats.
Has anyone had a similar experience with a happy ending? What else can i do to get these guys to come around? I haven't had them tested for disease yet so they're isolated in a separate room from my other animals. However, they're getting tested/spayed & neutered/vaccinated on Friday.
