Aww they will be out in no time! Both our kittens hid under the coffee table for a few hours when we bought them home, after a rest they soon came out for food and a play! They are just taking it all in 😻 sussing you and the place out!
awww thanks! Xxx

They just need time to adjust to all the big changes. Kittens are curious, but all cats can be apprehensive with big changes.

You are lucky they didn’t hide straight away, as a lot of kittens do. Our kitten was also quite confident, he walked straight out of the carrier, explored, ate, used the litter tray etc, but when he got tired in the evening, he took himself under the stairs to sleep, as it was enclosed, it made him feel safe and secure.

it probably took him around a week to start sleeping on our bed with us and around two weeks to get on our laps in the evening and chill with us. Some kittens take quite a lot longer.

just give them the space when they want it and never try to force interaction. I’ve always tried to let my cat come to me, rather than me smothering him and I’ve always tried to read his body cues to know when he doesn’t want stroking.

good luck, they don’t stay little for long. I miss ours being little.

Thank you so much. I thought that was the case 🙂 xx

Yeah, they’re only babies and they’ve left everything they’ve known, it’s natural for them to feel a bit insecure, especially as they get tired. Once they trust you completely, they go to sleep with you as they’ll know you are their safe space.
Our cat (he’s one in April) is never far away from us now and it’s so rewarding to see how much he trusts us. The best thing I have ever done was to get a cat! 🥰
Aww this is so reassuring thank you xx

Oh look at them 😍 Have you got a smart TVs? If so check out videos for cats on YouTube. We have 3 cats and even though we’ve had them for years they can still get a little scared if the children get too loud, if we pop that on they usually get distracted by it.
yes we do that’s a fab idea.
