Progress! Kittens finally accepting us :)
Posted: Tue Nov 12, 2019 10:19 pm
Anyone who has seen my posts recently will know how frustrated we've been with our new kittens. We are experienced cat owners (we thought!) and our last cats we had from kitten to elderly, and my partner has 42 years of living with cats. This pair just kept running away from us, totally happy to play distance games with us (they are addicted to string), clearly not frightened of us (no hissing or hiding), just no stroking or picking up. We of course gave them time to adjust, but they were still running away.
Well, it's taken 2 months, but Winston is currently on my lap having his belly rubbed
Whisper will come and demand fusses when I wake up They still flee if they think they're going to be picked up (I swear they have a sixth sense), but otherwise good. The reason I am writing this is up until the last few days they would accept attention from me, but not my partner. But now they are actively asking for fusses from him! I am so happy I just had to share
