I just can't get over that spot on both of their faces! That is just too cute!

You definitely should name them something about that spot . . . I just don't know what!?!?

Oh Kim bless your heart for taking these 2 in, even though you dont have much extra space. A huge HUG for you!!! And those two are precious, no denying they are related. Hopefully he is as innocent as he looks, and she comes around soon. I will be praying for the both of them. and you;D Katie

Oh my goodness! Hew looks so much like my Harry! you simply must name him Adam -- that is what I wanted to name Harry but hubby insisted he liked the name Harry (so Harry it stayed ) Give him a kis for me (if he'll let you) and moomma needs something soecial sicne she's so pretty and scared. Something soothing to say... how about Laura Lee? Laurelee? I'm thinking double Ls because they are so soft. Anyway... I'm rambling!

Here is a tip for the mama. With cagney, who was a real wildcat, all thre pounds of her. I had her in a cage like you do and I would go sit with her on the floor, this was before i could pet her. I got one of the cat toys, the one that has the mouse that goes around in a circle in the round plastic thing( wish i had a pic, my description is bad) I would set it beside the cage and play with the toy in front of her. She would watch and was very interested in it. it didn't take long for her to start sticking her paw out of the cage and trying to play with it. i would let her play with it and eventually after she was comfortble with it while she was playing i started petting her ear. At first she freaked out but then she realized she liked it and would let me pet her ears. i worked my way up from that.

if anyone can un-feral them Kim it is you!

[kimlovescats]

Thanks so much for all the great advice. Little boy doesn't seem to be eating ... he did come up on my desk and sniff at my pizza though, but wasn't interested in that either!

Lisa ... I have a large bed sheet over the cage now ... hope to hear some crunching soon!
I will bring out all the smelly things I can think of ... I did just buy a can of tuna!


Doo... thanks for the advice, will try that .. your pic didn't show up, but I have one of the toys you are speaking of!

They are so pretty. I love their matching "beauty marks" on the side of their cheeks. You are wonderful for taking in so many kitties. Bless you and them!

[kimlovescats]

GOOD NEWS! They BOTH like Iams Canned Kitten food! Which is perfect because the boy is still technically a kitten, and a nursing mom needs the extra calories!!!

[krazyaboutkatz]

They're both gorgeous and I'm glad to hear that they're both eating now too. I love the little orange spot on their faces.

Correction.... little boy took a few bites and quit ... but at least Mom ate most of hers! Can we say "PICKY"!!!

[kt_luvs_kitties]

Glad they ate. Or atleast momma did! I am sure he will start after he feels better. A few bites is better than none, so good for them, and good for you

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

both cats are gorgeous!! I am glad they start eating now, it sure is a good sign!!

So did covering the cage help, or were they just too hungry?
