Two sibling kittens and one lonely stray brought together for some love and socializing. These kittens were very young when I got them, probably less than 5 weeks old. I had them for a month before they all hit 2 lbs. One of the longest foster commitments I've had.
McTrousers and McSocks were sweet, cuddly, and lovey. They were siblings who part of a large litter. McSocks only vice was nibbling fingers and toes and eating food like a dog...if she eat her meal all in one bite, she would! I added dry food to the wet food to force her to chew!
JunyBug was the "special" baby. She was tiny, skinny, scared all the time, and did not always use the litter box. She was added to this group of social kittens to help her learn by example, but she never did. She was the first kitten I have fostered who never purred!! She watched me carefully and could see the other kittens were safe and happy around people, but it's like she didn't believe it.
At the end of the month, she finally came out to meow when food was coming, but I could never pick her up without her running away. The hard part is letting a kitten like that roam and explore because our only way of getting her back in the pen was to shoo her in the right direction! I could never get her to come to me. She eventually learned to run into the cage on her own.
They were all adopted, Mc Socks to a couple who lost their 19 year old cat, McTrousers went home with another cat, and JunyBug went home with a couple who loved her shy personality. There is a right animal for everyone...I love to learn of their adoption stories!
