What should I do with 2 feral kittens

We have been giving them lots of attention and they are starting to calm down.

I picked up a feral kitten out of the desert in southern AZ when I was a kid. We kept her. Darn thing was mean as hell. For some reason exposed toes pissed her off and she would attack our bare feet regularly. Hands dangling over the side of the couch too. She killed more things than I could ever count. She'd bring the mice inside, alive and put them in the bathtub so she could play with them for a while before she ate them. Woke up many a morning to find a mess in the tub. She killed lizards, birds and even a few full grown rabbits.

Not sure why we kept her. We always figured a coyote would get her one day but never did. She lived 19 years. Tough old kitty.

What if it rains?

Sparky, if you think they're Siamese kittens (or part Siamese), contact the Rocky Mountain Siamese Rescue http://co.siameserescue.org/ They'll foster them and find them homes. Otherwise I think you've already received good advice from the non-sociopath contributors in this thread.

I've got four cats and am in Texas otherwise I would for sure take one from you. The shelters here (at least the ones I've been to) have barn cat programs for cats and kittens who aren't suitable to be adopted as pets. Given that your little ones are responding well to you already, I don't think they'll need to go to a barn cat program, but it's something to think about.

Thanks for looking out for the little ones.

Feral cats don't really make as good of pets as non feral. They are better barn cats. Always exceptions of course.

Some people in this thread need to lighten up a little bit...

My black cat 'Coal' (original name eh?) is feral and great. He's kind of calmed down now, when we first got him he'd beat the crap out of our German Shepherd and attack my son for no reason. Granted you still don't want to antagonize him otherwise all bets are off:)

I betting that you waited too long to get rid of them. Your kids have grown attached to them and would pull a coup d' etat if you tried getting rid of them now.
They are now family members.
