Here are my new little ones
Haggis (Gus)
Ghillie
They are very chunky, smooshy kitties, it doesnt quite show in the pictures here.
I'm really concerned about the two of them
Both of them came to me this morning when I fed them. And both of them are using the litter box, and drinking water.
Gus, when you give him treats, or catnip, gets very lovey, and earlier, when I was laying on the floor, he was letting me pet him and was doing the little "Lookitme! Arent I cute? Pet me!" dance... We've gotten him to play as well, though he seems kinda 'cold' when we hold him.
Ghillie on the other hand, acts almost feral. She's been getting behind furniture and hiding back there, sometimes crying. I tried blocking up the sides of the big furniture so that she doesnt get tangled up in any cords or anything. She is not interested in treats or catnip at all. She seriously seems to just want nothing to do with us.
The only cat I have ever encountered like this was a feral cat we took in for a time, she'd act just this way (although we never got close enough to pick her up, so maybe there is hope there.)
I know, its just the second day. I've just never seen kittens act this way if they have been socialized properly. I'm wondering if they were cage raised and left alone alot, and I wonder if this is going to continue for a long time.
I'm sorry if this isnt the right place to vent/ramble about this particular problem, I probably sound terrible. I just can't help but be concerned for them, but also sad for us.
