They are, they're around 6 months old now. I first spotted them on 5/15 and they were around 4-5 weeks old then. Thursday, Hocus, the standoffish kitten let me pet him for the first time and seemed to enjoy a back scratch. Pocus, the other kitten, will let me pick him up for a short time, he's always been more easy going. They loved chasing the fall leaves around the yard.
