kittens

With Bissell back at the rescue, mom decided to see about integrating the kittens. The vacuum kittens could use an example of being more brave with people and the decoder kittens needed more space than the bathroom to run around.

Step One: introductions through the play pen. Roomba was the most curious and the boys inside couldn't have been less interested in the other kittens.

Step Two: find a cozy spot to sit and stare at the new guys.

Step Three: toys

Green was amazed!!! It went remarkably well. Despite being almost 3 weeks different in ages, they are all really about the same size. Mom did weigh them and everyone is almost 2 pound except Dyson who is slightly less than everyone else. Which is odd considering he is kind of aggressive about that food bowl.

The kittens are doing very well with each other. The decoders are more coordinated as they are older and they play a little rougher. But mom noticed Monday night when she was in there that the vacuum kittens are definitely a little bolder and more curious about her. Whether that is their momma being gone or the example made by the decoders, we aren't sure.

  2. OMC the cute! I'm sure the integration will go well and they'll be running and tussling together in no time.

  3. OMG, I'd never leave the room with all those kittens. Up to 16 weeks it's a free for all with kittens. They don't seem to care how old anyone is. Mixing them does help socialization as long as you keep after the less socialized ones, and take the resistant ones off to their own room for a few days and give them a crash course in human.
