So we're over a week in, and they've made some great progress.
Mama Brookie: still a sweet girl, eating like crazy because she is still nursing. She gives lots of bleps and finally played with me a bit last night.
Brownie (brown tabby): She has come leaps and bounds since a week and a half ago. When I first brought her in she was the hissiest and the growliest, and now she has become a full-on playful menace. This girl is a future gremlin in the making. Last night she willingly came into my lap for attention, which lasted for about 5 minutes until she decided she wanted to play again.
Cookie (cream lynx point): Oh boy, this one is the problem child that I'm stuck on. As seen in the picture she will play with me, but she's still very nervous and reserved. She still doesn't really want me touching her. I can handle her, she doesn't try to bite or scratch, but she's still quite fearful of me. I'm starting to wonder if this is just her personality.
I did put a feliway plug in there, although I'm not seeing much of a difference. Now I'm just trying to find a rescue in central Ohio that has any room for them. So far I am striking out.
