I just discovered this page last night and i am taming 3 feral kittens that a mama had under my porch. mom hisses at me but begs me to pet her and will keep me company outside.(i have plans to trap-spay-return)
i caught the kittens 2 wks ago. we had a couple of hiccups but they are now in a sturdy playpen where i can feed them and they can play a little.
i can pet them while they eat, 2 of them will eagerly eat treats from my hand, and i can get them all to engage in some crazy playtime.
but they won't stop hissing and its driving me crazy bc i keep thinking we're making good progress only for them to hiss at my every move.
this is my 1st time doing this and i know that it would easier to put them in a room but i just don't have that option so i'm working with what i got.
am i screwed bc i can't give them a room to themselves?? i work as a vet assistant and my boss told me that i should just give them away to the homes that i've lined up for them and let the new owner handle it but i'm not sure about that being that they still hiss.
i had plans to make a makeshift extension of the playpen that i can sit in and play with them to give them a little more room or should i just keep them in just the pen?
thank you in advance for any help!!
