Our air conditioner upstairs quit and I had to move the two kittens in with the group in the main bedroom. It was just way to hot upstairs for the two van kitties.
Of course, they scooted under the bed to hide, but the other kittens didn’t even bother with them. When I went back in a few minutes later, Tandem was out with the others on the cat condo, but Axle was still hiding.
It will just take time, and for now I am pushing the food plate under the bed for the new kitties. i don’t know who is eating the food though- that is the problem with merging kittens together.
