Cerulean's kittens are now up and ready to explore.
That's good, he can still reap the benefits of siblings and socialization he might change his mind once he gets older about moms lolans5181 Ending up staying separate, didn't take to any of the mama cats, but loves playing with the other kittens.

These guys left for a new foster home today because tomorrow per my vets request, im taking in 24 ragdoll cats and kittens. My goal will be to adopt them out once they're old enough. I'm not selling them under any circumstance. I'm happy and nervous about them coming because with them and the others that I already have.... that's a whole lotta cats!And last, but definitely not lease.

I hope so! I don't want him to feel like some strange tattooed man is his dad forever.That's good, he can still reap the benefits of siblings and socialization he might change his mind once he gets older about moms lol
Holy crap, 24?? Thassa lotta cats!These guys left for a new foster home today because tomorrow per my vets request, im taking in 24 ragdoll cats and kittens.

The more you can get him to interact, the better he will learn to be a cat. Cetded might be great but he isn't a CATdad lol. Siblings teach things like "bite hard and I'll stop playing with you", mom teaches hunting, grooming, litter boxing, etc., plus they learn confidence. I may be preaching to the choir here, but all my kittens were 12+ weeks when they left mom and aunt, and they were fearless, totally confident cats!I hope so! I don't want him to feel like some strange tattooed man is his dad forever.
Tell me about it. Especially when I have to leave for work this weekend and our sitters are stuck with them. They're stoked about it now, but I told them I'd ask them if they feel the same way in a couple of days.Holy crap, 24?? Thassa lotta cats!
I'm trying my best. He's cool with the kittens and likes to wrassle like his Cetded does. I love how you worded that, I can play it off like I'm not really his dad so it's a nickname and not just my accent. What do you think is the best way to get him to interact with the older cats? I fostered cats in Amsterdam, but none of them were such scaredy cats as he is. I say that with love.The more you can get him to interact, the better he will learn to be a cat.

You're welcome! That's perfect if Duchess's litter is the same age, he will blend right inans5181 He's around four weeks old and Duchess' litter is too. I may try the bathroom suggestion with them and see what happens. Thanks for the advice! He is just starting to eat soft food.
Thank you for this advice. Confining them in a bathroom together really helped bond them and you'd think Ash was born into that little family now.I would try putting him in with a litter, whichever one he seems best suited to, and if he isn't terrified, leave him with them. Mine were confined to the bathroom so they were always in close proximity to the adults. Usually mother cats are good adoptive mothers, even if they aren't nursing they will still groom, cuddle, teach, etc. Is he eating solid foods yet? I forget how old he is...
She's beatiful!We got Sophie 4 days ago.
Omg yay! I am so happy to hear that, good for him and you too! Hope you and yours had a merry Christmas...or whateverThank you for this advice. Confining them in a bathroom together really helped bond them and you'd think Ash was born into that little family now.
