Zeurich = You gain 20 hit points in my eyes for making the phone call and adopting them.

Sadly there are many humans who wouldn't have done either good deed (but still believe God will put them in Heaven, LoL to that). Here in the US what was done would be a crime. In days of yore when our borders were fully open we had monsters that would put cats and kittens in pillowcases and drown them in the river. The same folks treated humans the same way and many were also the folks who committed crimes. Somewhere around 1900 America realized having folks with those mentalities towards animals didn't help us as a country and we passed animal cruelty laws. I am pretty pleased to report putting multiple cats in a sealed plastic bag and disposing of it so they would die a slow suffocation death here in America would be considered a crime and some police effort would probably be spent to figure out which trash bag, what if any trash in it would identify the household (mail stickers, prescription bottles with lapels, etc.) and whose fingerprints are on the bag and a criminal prosecution would probably commence. One thing I do know as a guy who used to lock deserving individuals up is sometimes dead small animals at someone's hands was just the tip of the iceberg regarding that person's mental state and a little more digging sometimes turned up other legal issues deserving of followup. You may have a neighbor that neighborhood would be much better off without having him or her.

Give the little fellas some time. One is still new to the world and thinks all humans are monsters, if she even connects the smothering and trapped with the person, while the other one knows now humans are dangerous and the 4,000+ years we have spent building trust relationships with cats maybe should be discounted. So keep feeding them and speaking softly and they should grow friendlier in time as they relax around you.
