Dusty and Lily are still confined to the bedroom. We aren't getting anywhere. Have been playing with them, they'll play to an extent, but take off when you try to pet them. Instead of getting better, they've both gotten worse. It's like having two barn cats living in my room. My kids can't enjoy them, my husband is getting irratated that all they do is destroy stuff. They climb the curtains all the way to the ceiling, run around like they are insane....I get that part of that is being kittens, I've had kitttens, I'm cool with that. But I'm not cool with two basically wild animals. I don't know if they'll ever be pettable, it breaks my heart to admit it. I just told my husband, I do love them but I truly don't feel that bond with them. We've been fostering a small dog for a few days and I honestly feel more of a bond with her, and that's really sad....
They are due to be fixed - both Dusty and Lily - on Saturday. They are about 4 mo old now, so again, I expect a lot of the crazy behavior at this stage of kittenhood. But I can't touch them. They hiss, they run and hide.
I don't know what to do. I don't want to have to give them up but at the same time, I don't want it to be like this.
Help...suggestions....I'm really feeling like I made a mistake right now. I keep trying to read your success stories and feel better, but all I'm feeling right now is a little bit lost.
