The complement to that is if they are males, they'll be bashing themselves against the windows and climbing the curtains to get out--it's Spring, don't ya know.
Give them a couple weeks, they'll have taken over and you'll have wished they stayed under the couch.
Yeah, don't I know it -- they have my sympathy.
Well, they *would* have my sympathy, but as it happens, they're both fixed. And they're one of each (male about 7 months, female about a year.) The male was a feral kitten rescued from a South Baltimore scrap metal yard at about 5 months of age, a little late for a wild cat to be tamed, but he made a lot of progress with the rescue lady. The female just sort of showed up one day at the rescue and didn't leave, so I don't know her backstory, but she has some behaviors that make me think she may have been abused. The male and female became good buddies while at the rescue, so, sucker that I am, I took them both. *sigh*
Today the female came out from under the sofa and stayed near (but out of reach) and warily but with evident interest sat and watched me make and eat breakfast. Progress!
