The reason I am having mixed emotions on the other two is that I am not sure this man knows how to integrate the ferals as Bare said. Where as I can pet and play with "squeekers" and am starting to be able to let the sister sniff my hand, he goes at them with his hand very high and makes a noise that is a little harsh rather than soothing and they both run. He keeps telling me that he can pet her and even pick her up but then I see her run and he admits that when he picks her up she freaks out (well, that's not picking her up, that's lifting her and upsetting her). He also has 4 Siamese at home. He did say he would separate them and introduce them slowly so he knows to do that, but I will have to sit with him and make sure he knows how to let them adjust to him first. He also says if it doesn't work out his mom in Virginia will take them but does he understand that they are feral and he won't be able to just pick them up and put them in a carrier for a day or so to get them there? Am I making too much of this? I want them to have a good home and would take them myself but I have a bully cat at home that terrorized everyone so my cats are separated as it is. My husband says "the hotel is full". I want the best life for these sweeties, and they are so sweet, but I don't want to give them to someone who doesn't know how to handle them and I don't want to deny them a good home at the same time. I also don't own them so he could somehow trap them or get them another way if I don't do it.

Boy, why would he want to try to integrate two ferals with four cats. Chances are at least one of those four would object.
