[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you ever had cats before?  They are not dogs.  Just because they don't let you hold them doesn't mean they're not bonded to you.  That said, it sounds like you really don't care about them, so I would look at surrendering them to one of the many rescue organizations around here.  We got our two cats from Lost Dog and Cat Rescue - they are a great organization.  [/quote]

Op here. Hoping to meet the actual person(s) they would go to, so I don't want to resort to giving them to a rescue org. We got them from a rescue org,[b] one that misled us into believing the cats 'would come around' to being loving[/b]. [/quote]

This is such a strange statement and one I have a hard time understanding a rescue org would say. I would think they might have said they wouldn't been so skittish or scared after awhile, but loving?  You can never guarantee that with cats.  They love you in their own way, but not all cats will love to be held, sit on your lap, sleep with you.  It just isn't how cats are. [/quote]

Yep, I learned this the hard way. Cats are a huge crapshoot in terms of affection. My first cat might as well have been a dog - I carried him around, he snuggled on my chest, etc. Neither of my subsequent two cats has been anything like him. With that said, I love them for who they are.

You sound like you don’t want to accept them or try, so just give them back. If you adopted them from a rescue org, you likely signed a document saying you would surrender back to that rescue org. So do that. [/quote]

It's been three long years of trying. We'll keep looking around for [b]an older person(s)[/b]. If that doesn't work, we'll call the rescue org in spring. [/quote]

Why do you think an older person would want cats that haven't bonded with you after three years?  You need to give them back to the organization.  If you don't than you are violating the contract.[/quote]
