BATCH #11 - RHYME AND REASON

After a long absence from kitty fostering, I welcomed Batch #11 who are a couple of scared, hissy, bonded 3-month-old, semi-feral siblings whose mother was so feral that she had to be returned to where she was trapped. I assume that the mother was spayed first before being returned back to the wild.

Most of the kittens that I have fostered in the past have been very tame, or at the very least, just shy. I've never had kittens that have been so scared of people touching them that they hiss and growl when you approach them, but then there's always a first time for everything.  I am going to slowly work on their fear of humans and turn them into cuddle bunnies so that they will find their forever home soon!

But just to be on the safe side (since I don't want to get scratched or bitten), I had to pull out some armor to protect myself.

My protective armor:  Hubby's ski gloves

These kittens are so beautiful to look at and with some time, patience, soothing talk and gentle petting, I'm hoping that they will stop growling at me when I approach them.  But I understand that they must be totally freaked out what with coming to a new environment, new people and new smells. At least I got them out from behind my toilet.  I thought they were going to set up camp there for days.

Reason (female)

Reason is definitely the more scared of the two, so I will spend a lot more time petting and talking to her so that she's not so fearful.

Let's see how much time it will take me to get these kittens all tame and purring in my lap!
