Turns out he just needed to grow into that face and expand those ears. Now he's a handsome young imp.

Ya did good, Siwsan. You made a huge difference in their lives.

You should listen to that song. It is perfect for your story today.

Being with them 24/7, I don't notice the changes until I look back. I do noticed that there's no more hissing, spitting and swatting. Now I get snuggles and kitten kisses. Oh, and hair styling. They are very much into styling my hair.

I can imagine them styling your hair.

I had one many yrs ago who would do that all night, every night. After trying everything I could think of to redirect her behavior, I decided on drastic action.

So, one night I tucked my hair up under a real leopard beanie I'd picked up at a thrift store. When kitty came to style my hair, she shrieked & never kept me up again all night. But she did come up to cuddle & be petted, of course.

Made it much easiet to get up early for work.

I love your before & after pix! Such a transformation from terrified to confident, regal, well oved feline superstars of DU!

You've done great work, my friend!

I've never dealt with such young kittens. It's been quite a journey. I'm finally feeling confident. And, pretty soon they will get the run of the house. Well MOST of the house, anyway. I'm also thinking about taking their play pen outside, when it's warm enough. Get them some nice fresh air.

They survived my ignorance about how to raise tiny kittens. I'm grateful for both internet searches and support from my friends on DU!
