“CHECK FOR FLEAS!!!”

I don’t think they have fleas, they’re not scratching at all.

Really, they are basically not moving, but they do move. They are eating and when we leave them alone in “their” room they move around, use the box, etc.

When they do ambulate (to run under the couch, etc.) they are not unsteady on their legs or anything.

I’m getting pretty convinced to take them into the vet.

My friend is coming to visit this weekend, she is a big cat person. So maybe she can give me some insight too.

I just don’t want to take them to the vet if this is just their “pre-existing” parasite which, in theory, will be cured with the meds they are getting. Which they are taking quite well.

The baby I was talking about wasn’t scratching either. Actually, when there are that many of them, cats just give up and ignore them.

But, by all means, take them to the vet. Better to be on the safe side.

ALL kittehs - even young ones - take a few days (3 or more) to adjust to their new environment. They are used to each other’s company and are “hiding out” together until they get used to y'all. Give them time to learn to trust you. It's a good sign that they're eating, drinking and using the litter box. Be sure to completely clean and disinfect the box after they finish their course of meds to be sure they do not get reinfected.

It's also a good sign that they let you handle them and trust you to sleep on your laps. By all means, let your Vet check them out and don't just rely on what the Petstore adoption people say. God bless you for taking them and giving them a loving home. So many never get to know what that is like. It's very sad. Let us know how they're doing.

Take em to the vet. Even if the vet just thinks they’re from a naturally calm breed mix or something, at least then you know, you have peace of mind.
