Jods,

No one here is going to hate you. At least I don't. Cats are unique creatures who don't like change. A baby is a big change that takes up ALOT of the time that used to go to them. Sounds like they're trying to get your attention. It's normal. Have you consulted your vet about the behavior? I think maybe a check up might be called for. Maybe there's some kind of sedative you can give them so it'll calm them down.

If not, do you have any friends that might be able to adopt them together? At least they'll have each other and the transition might be alot easier. If you lived closer I would be more than happy to take them and rehome them. Unfortunately, I'm not.

Please try to rehome them rather than bringing them to a shelter. When you put an ad in the paper, make SURE you ask for an adoption fee (at least $50 - you've got vet bills to prove it). With that kind of fee, you'll get only serious inquiries.

Believe me, I know how difficult this is for you. When I had to rehome Fawnie and Doogie, I was beside myself. That was until I met Val. The minute I saw her, I KNEW right then and there Doogie was going to be loved and cared for by an awesome person! Fawnie and my other cat Carly are living together up in Ann Arbor in a wonderful home.

(((((((((HUGS))))))) and prayers to you, Jod. I hope you find the perfect home for them and please, don't blame yourself. This happens ALL the time. But if ya do it right, you'll have peace of mind, and they'll have great homes.
