We adopted 2 sister kitties (after my 17yr old sweetie pie crossed the rainbow bridge on New Years Day). According to vet records they are 16 months old. It appears they've spent the last 8 months in a crate at a cat rescue shelter. At the shelter they were friendly and curious when we reached into the cage but we didn't try picking them up. Brought them home. Gave them their own bedroom with everything they need. It's been two weeks now. My husband and I take turns daily just quietly sitting in the room. Feeding them or changing their litter. They just sit under the dresser or backed into the corner and watch us. Late night I say goodnight and turn off the bedroom light and within minutes of closing the door you can hear them bouncing and playing around. They seem happy unless we are around. We have the feliway defuser plugged in and putting anti-stress drops in their water. I so want them to venture up to us. When should we try to pet them or pick them up? I want them to realize they have a whole world and loving family. Advice please?
