I never would have thought of isolating her. I would have been afraid that
might have upset her more. Do you think that still might help her? If so
I'll certainly give it a try.


I would try it, for this little one. It just might make her focus on
human company instead of her siblings. Also, her negative energy will not
be affecting her siblings. She is probably always going to be
high-strung; let's hope you find a sympathetic home for her, even if as a
companion to a lonely housecat.

Another trick would be to put her in a highly-trafficked space (such as
your living room), but caged and separate from the other cats. Then hold
her in your lap every chance you get. Isolation is my vote, though.

We have 7 kittens from that "colony" and 4 are pretty friendly and the other
three are still works in progress. At what point do you start showing them
for adoption?


As they become socialized, put them on the adoption block as soon as they
are old enough (8 wks min.), healthy and sterilized. Works for us!
