They are doing exceptionally well.
It was pieces of ground-meat which did the trick.
On the second day out of the unheated bathroom, when they had settled
under
the unheated tiled stove in the next room, they began to purr when
they
heared me opening the fridgedoor in the kitchen. Obviously awaiting
more
little meatballs. Then they started to destroy my christmas
decorations.
Every morning I had to collect the red little apples and the golden
rope
from the floor and put them back into place.
Next thing was, that Leo, the black one sniffed into the
(heated)living-room,
checking if it was safe there for them.
And the next night all four of them moved under my bed! My sleeping
room is
not heated as well, but connects to the living-room and a good amount
of heat
radiates over, so it is ok there.
And they conquered the living-room. Yesterday we played string-
hunting.
They love it! My big cats were stunned to meet so much agility. I even
managed to
lure them onto the sofa by pulling the string onto it.
I haven`t touched them up to now as this would frighten them. Humans
are soo big.
But the day will come. And the little ones see how the big ones act
towards me.
That will gain trust as well.
