I want the kittehs to be up on my lap purring and cuddling.

1. Well, I suspect you could bribe them...
How about some catnip?

Time will bring them out...

But I hear you!

And we need pics...Under the couch doesn't work too well for those!

2. You know, if I was closer I'd climb up on your lap and purr...
At least until we coaxed the kitties out from under the couch...

And if you rubbed me under the chin...

Well...

4. Give them time. Speak sweetly to them. Do you speak cat?
In the meantime, something to cheer and remind you friendship is worth waiting for:

5. If it makes you feel any better...
one of my furbabies STILL does that. I've had him since he was 6 months old. He's 2 1/2 now. Stupid cat. ;)

If they were lap cats before, they will be with you too, they just need time. I bet by the end of the week they'll be prancing around like they own the place!

10. Remind them that they are related to lions and tigers and such.
They really don't need to hide, they're big, tough boycats! If that doesn't work, get a laser pointer. :-)

12. They'll settle in....
