The first two fluffballs were joined by two more siblings. Both are mostly black, but in quite different ways. One is long-haired and has lighter streaks and patches that will probably disappear as he/she grows to adulthood. The other has white on her throat and in a couple of spots on her abdomen, but she’s short-haired – or maybe her fur will end up medium length.
Later in the day, the shorthaired one demonstrated that she was really quite comfortable with people. We could pet her and she’d arch up into it. She was also the boldest of all the kittens, and the longer-haired black one would follow her lead – to a point.
It was feather toys that really brought them out, and eventually they would even come out when I was in the cage with them. Progress!
