Please be gentle, I’m a new first time cat owner! We got two 5-6 month old kittens two weeks ago. They’d been fleaed and wormed but nothing else so have been for a vet check and first set of jabs, booked in for second set of jabs, chips and spaying.
They’d been fed on felix pouches and some unidentified kibble so I bought iams kibble as I’d heard of it 
. Have since been reading about cat feeding and have ordered some better quality tinned kitten food from Zooplus which arrived today. Just given them both a heaped teaspoon of Feringa kitten and they’ve wolfed it down and ignored the felix I gave afterwards. Am aiming to move them over to a range of grain free wet food plus some grain free kibble (I got Arden grange??).
Veteran cat owners- does that sound reasonable? Gradually increase the better food and decrease the supermarket stuff? Should I go totally over to wet ideally? And aim to give a selection of brands and proteins? Any advice?
Second issue- one kitten is sociable and has spent her time downstairs checking out everything that goes on plus demanding fuss from pretty much everyone. They’re both wary of men but bravecat will sit by DH and let him stroke her, will walk across him on the sofa etc. The other one spent the first two days under our sofa until I let them into the rest of the house, since then she’s been almost entirely under our bed. Currently she has room service- a tray with wet and dry food plus water and her own litter tray in the en-suite (yes, I am a cat slave). She will come out and have fuss from me and teenage DD but is very reluctant to let DH touch her and often runs back under the bed if she sees him.
They both have a mad hour at about 10pm and dash around the house after each other- shycat will join in with this but avoids DH and returns to under the bed afterwards and escapes immediately if anything scares her (like DH walking around).
I’ve put a feliway plug in our room plus one downstairs. How can I best help her to be more confident? Let her come out in her own time? Continue to feed her upstairs (bravecat has eaten both bowls several times so I want to be sure that shycat gets some food!). Am I better to make her go downstairs for food? She was terrified at the vet (vet said her heart rate was through the roof, sweaty paws etc) so I don’t think that helped her confidence but was obv necessary. Am also worried that the next few vet trips will cause her to hide again. Any advice on helping shycat? She’s the one in the box!
Thanks in advance
