New kitties

[procon]

8. Pretty kitties!

I've gentled lots of feral kittens in my time. Most quickly settled in to the family and behaved very nicely, a couple took a little longer and had their limits about what they would tolerate.

My two little beasties are about 8 now, and came from a feral litter in a neighbor's barn. You'd never know they weren't born spoiled and pampered divas. They follow me everywhere, complaining until I sit down again and let them join me.

When they first arrived, I hand fed them for about two days in the begining, starting with baby food in a spoon, then they licked food from my finger, and finally they ate from a dish next to me. When they were eager to come to me, and I sat on the floor doling out little bits of food so they always associated me with good food, grooming and warm cuddles.
