F/U Kittens
We went to the adoption event last night and were able to take home two beautiful little guys. I'm hoping to have pics to post later, but they're on DH's phone, so it'll have to wait a bit.
One is a twelve-week old orange and white boy, who was named Vanilla by the shelter. We'll be changing his name, partly because he only answers to Vaneller (we are in Boston after all), and I refuse to call him that. He's ridiculously energetic, fun-loving, curious and always wants to play. He's adjusted really well to the bedroom we're using as a safe room, and has ventured out into the rest of the apartment a bit too.
The other is an eight-week old black and white cat named Chaos. I'm thinking of renaming him Cyclops because of the white patch right between his eyes. Chaos was really sweet and cuddly after we got him calmed down at the adoption event, but since bringing him home he's been very nervous. He spends most of his time under the bed in the safe room, and doesn't want to eat (he drinks plenty of water, though) when we can coax him out. DH is worried sick over him.
I know it's natural for cats to be nervous in new environments, but his refusal to eat is scaring us a bit. Has anyone dealt with this before? Should we put a food dish under the bed for him? Leave him alone?
Edit: Now with craptastic photos. Forgive Vanilla, he moves too fast to get a good pic.

Re: F/U Kittens
Ditto Knittibell about food. Just make sure it's available, he'll eat when he's hungry!
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
And what is F/U. At first I assumed "F You"- but then,"Fukk you, Kittens!" seemed highly unlikely.
Those kittens are so precious! I LOVE Vanilla's markings too - very beautiful.
I want one now

Raynes--he is beautiful, huh? We've been joking that of course we'd wind up with an orange and white kitty since those were our alma mater's colors, but we didn't pick him for that. He sort of picked us, and I'm glad he did.

That's crazy, though ... we adopted 2 also from an event at the shelter this week by our house!
Here are mine:
Amber ... a 3 month old Calico. She's a nut, but very well behaved ... if that makes any sense. lol
Emma .... she's 8 weeks old and a little wild, but she's coming around.

I'm sure Chaos/Cyclops will be fine after a few days. Ditto everyone else, just leave the food where he can find it, and he'll find it when he's ready.
[QUOTE]Knittibell, Follow Up. That one took me a while at first too!

Aah, see now that makes much more sense!! LOL!
You're going to have your hands full with two new kittens! I'd llove to be in your shoes. I want a kitten.
I made a bio?!?
i would leave some food near cyclops as he gets more comfy he will come out more...slowly move the food out where he has to go to it that should help a bit
