I have 2 9 week kittens, a boy (Coco) and a girl (Mimi) they are siblings. They come from a private home that had a spaniel, 2 older children and they owned both mum and dad. They have been here in their forever home for 10 days and had their 1st vaccinations 2 days ago. They weight 1.12kg and have been fleaed and wormed, they are energetic, eat well and are healthy.
We have never owned cats before, we would like to help to ensure that they grow into sociable confident happy cats. The boy is the boldest of the 2 and he seems to bound back quicker if he gets spooked and is always the first to investigate new things. The girl is much more cautious and runs up to you less. He asks for food, rubs up against your leg, lets you rub his belly. She is not so keen.
I wanted to know what are the kind of things I should be doing to help ensure she is ok with people and easy to handle when she is all grown up. We are realistic in that we get she may not ever want to be over fussed etc, but we don want to be able to clip her claws, pick her up and have her trust us.
Any advice would be welcomed. We play with both kittens everyday.
Also since they had their injections she is sleeping on us much less and seems a little less inclined to receive the odd fuss/affection.
