We have two 3-month old kittens left from the feral litter we caught a month ago. My husband wants to definitely keep one of the kittens (Casper), and he wants to possibly keep the other kitten (Abby). We currently keep the the kittens in their own room, with baby gates stacked across the hallway so they can't get out, while we integrate them into the "family".
We also already three adult cats - all "former ferals" - who are all about 2 years old. Angel is the least socialized and hisses and growls at the kittens through the gates whenever she walks by. Gidget is the most social with us, but she avoids the kittens as much as possible and sometimes hisses at them. Demon is very social with my husband, somewhat with me, loves the kittens (except when they pile on top of him), and has been into their room for short periods of time and has done very well.
I know the process can take a few months, but do you think it will be easier to integrate two kittens or one kitten into such a situation?
