Hi Slings, can you pass this along, I really need some good advice.

Thanks a bunch!

If there is any doubt whatsoever...please...take them to the vet. Kittens should be very active, so that is not a good sign. The vet will be able to do blood work and urine testing and figure out what is wrong. My Siamese did the same thing when he was a baby and they put him on some antibiotics and he sprang right back! Kittens can not take sickness or infection as well as adult cats...so spend the money...it will be well worth it...and they will give you years of love!

Give them time and much love. Cats are EXTREMELY connected to their environments. Their feeling of security is tightly connected to knowing and feeling safe in their environment. If they have had several environment changes it may take them a while (from a few days to several months) to feel safe and not feel like at any moment they may be hauled off to another totally new and strange place. Patience and love should, hopefully, take care of your problem.

Also, when I have kitties who are timid I play a radio station that plays old fashioned Christian hymns. Every cat I have ever helped through fostering and adoption loves old fashioned Christian hymns and the music really does comfort them. I leave it on kind of low most of the time for them as they have ears that hear much better than ours.

Also, I have a daily prayer and Bible reading time. If a kitty needs extra assurance I keep one or two on my lap during this time. The Holy Spirit is present in a special way during prayer and Bible reading time and His special presence at this time ministers to the kitty/kitties on my lap.
