Here's an afternoon update from me... I've gotten next to nothing else done today so I might as well run with it.
I started out with the glove on a stick today, even though the Tortie and I had progressed beyond this, I wasn't sure how the new orange kitty would respond.
As you can see, she's loving it. She likes her belly rubbed! I've never had a cat that liked that, my pet cats scratch me if if I rub their bellies. Quirky!
He's trying to get away, but he didn't spit or bite or scratch at it, he just eventually retreated to the litter box underneath, where he spent the next few hours.
But he did get bolder and venture out again eventually.
The little Tortie, as you can see, is being fairly curious and forward about contact with me now... sniffing at my bare fingers here...
Brother decided to head back to the litterbox when I opened the door again, but he'll come around. It's been a hard day for him.
Sister is sure happy he's with her, even if he's not, yet.
I guess you could always have the little orange one neutered and then turn him loose with his mom. Perhaps he will find out that he likes people though - I hope so.
Awwww, Sister is so cute, letting you rub her belly like that!
She may talk her brother into the same frame of mind - or she may decide to keep all the Good Things for herself.
He does still look quite suspicious, but he's a few days behind the fair. He may come round, especially with help from Sis.
Kitties are so cute:) Your crate for them looks so cat friendly...they should be very content there. Love the glove on the stick....very practical and smart:)
