Taming Kittens

I was called out to trap some kittens that were being threatened by a fox.
One had already found his way to humans, one was not lucky enough to
survive the fox, and 2 are in my garage, being "socialized". 

For 2 days I had the 3 survivors, but the little boy, that was the first to find
a safe haven with humans, has not really wanted to be back with his sibs.
Perhaps he no longer wants to share, or he just thinks he's human himself!

The 2 that I have now will be going to a foster home soon. The little
female has gotten quite friendly; purring when held and exploring the
garage. Readily playing with toys, me and her brother...all in all,
being a cute kitten.

The boy, however, is still scared. He will spit and hiss, but he has allowed
me to pick him up a few times, and he will let me pet him while he eats.
Of course, he's not thrilled with that aspect, but he is getting used to it.

He has a long way to go though, and I am glad they are only 10-11
weeks old as it gives him another month or more to be tamed.

They are a beutiful color though, and have the lovliest eyes, so
when they are ready, they will be adopted quickly.

Look for pics or video later!
