Hi all,
We adopted a couple of male ginger kittens from the RSPCA 3mths ago when they were 12wks old.
They were found aged apprx 8wks on the roof of an office block and we were told they were semi-feral as they hissed and lashed out if anyone went near them, but they slowly seem to be getting more sociable....

They will wait about a metre away from us when it's feeding time and will play with toys on a stick and will climb on me to take food from my hand - but if I try and stroke them they run away. They will also spend most of the day under the sofa - though on an evening they will both play together with me in the room and sometimes lie on the opposite sofa from me.
We know that trust takes time - but could do with some extra advice !!

Sorry there's a few questions

- Should we wait till we can stroke them before we take them to the vets for "the snip"? Or is the sooner the better?

- Will they become any friendlier after neutering?

- At the moment they're restricted to the living room and kitchen - should we open up the rest of the house yet? We're scared we'll never see them if we do!

Thanks in advance....

Rob.
