Taki
● Initially very shy and happy to let his sisters take the lead, but incredibly sweet and
charming once he feels safe.
● Has made good progress with human touch and now can accept petting and purrs,
although his confidence still sometimes comes in waves.
● Still easily startled by sudden movements or being approached from above but has the
cutest little scuttle when he runs around.
They seem to do best with gentle voices, slow movements, consistency, and routine while they
settle into a calm environment. New people may not immediately see the kittens I came to know.
Once they feel safe, they blossom. They happily accept pets, purr, and become much more
engaged with both their people and their surroundings. Watching that trust develop has been
one of the most rewarding parts of fostering them.
Once comfortable, they are also playful and will chase each other around for hours. They enjoy
wand toys, strings, wire toys, balls, lasers...pretty much anything they can hunt or chase. Their
current favorite is a simple wire-and-cardboard toy. They've also clearly benefited from having
one another for confidence, play, and companionship.
They have been excellent with their litter boxes throughout their stay. I provided one litter box
per kitten, and keeping them clean seemed to encourage those good habits.
All three consistently use the vertical scratching post rather than furniture. They also really love
climbing, playing, and napping on their cat tree.
