Over the past 7 years of trapping I have caught some strays and for one reason or another have not been able to release some feral kittens. I therefore have 2 groups of cats situated in two different parts of house.
One group of 10 are on first floor which is an above ground finished basement. They have outdoor access to a large dog kennel. The second group of 10 are in master bedroom suite on main floor with a deck without a stairway so they can't get out. At least 3 have persisted in their feral ways and won't allow me to pick them up, barely letting me pet them.
There are guest rooms on 3rd floor where dear hubby and I sleep and I want our master bedroom back.
What is best way to get main floor bedroom cats to first floor, move them all at once or little by little over a period of days?
The bedroom door and door to downstairs are adjacent so I've left the doors open to encourage mixing but each group prefers to remain in place. What to do?
Thanks for any recommendations.
