Little girls showing her personalities

Kittens are growing up faster,now they are almost 7mo and some new difficults are coming...
As I already mentioned, Joy would love going outside but she would  try follow Loreena everywhere, without success for sure and putting herself in trouble.
So, I have to go with her,in my nap or on the leash - I do wanna trainee her for use that cos at this moment its a little dangerous as well for a crazy kitten running.
On the other hand,Lucky HATES going outside, no matter the way I take her.And hates beeing alone inside if I give up and/or go after Joy that scaped and its on the way for ...
She cries and I it always cause me to return her sister home - that for sure dont like that very much.
Any suggestion?

Hahaha...I think this thread is getting a little mixed up :)

Apple...in answer to your original question...I don't have any kind of idea or solution for you, lol, well, I don't think.  It sounds like Joy is not a problem.  You could have her on a long leash and tie her up and at the same time bring Lucky outside too, just for a little while, and hope the constant exposure to being outside helps get rid of her anxiety or calms it a little.  

PikaPika88...try putting the leash on your cat, then give her a treat so she associates the leash with something good.  Just leave the leash on and walk away and let her get used to the feel of it.

I didnt say they have lots of toys- just that they have free access to them :-)
In fact girls enjoy more simple things they find than special toys for cats -just like their mother...

It's just their nature....they are soooo independent...and they really don't care what we think.  I think they care about us and care what we want to an extent....but above that they care more about what THEY want and don't want, but in spite of that we sure do love 'em anyway ♥

I wish to know why my cat doesn't want to walk when she is on leash?  She just stop and sit/lay on the ground.  If I didn't put a leash on her, she'll running like mad.  Even I call her, she keeps running.

Apple, I think you are doing a great job with the kittens.  They will settle down some when they get a little older.  They will be more satisfied to stay in.  They have all they need in your apt/house.  When you are gone, maybe you could confine them to one room?  You say they have lots of toys.  They have food and water and their litter box. Don't worry so much about what they are thinking. You give them attention and they love you for it. If you do decide on the leash, just take one at a time and don't worry, the one left at home will be fine. Like you, I'm not a fan of leaving one in a cat transporter for a long time.  My kittens at 1 yr are becoming more independent of each other and their mother and that is a good and welcome thing.

I'm not wanting to know why they do that, I can understand they have their own reasons for,even if we dont know which one are.I'm just trying to get some good idea about how could I keep both satisfied.
Keep Lucky in her transport box doesnt seen to be a great one,and I'm completely broken to buy some gear I could find on line or eventually at pet shops
They have access to their toys all the time

I don’t think she is trying to force the kittens to go outside. I think she wants to know why one of them (the one who doesn’t like to go outside) will cry in the house when her sister is outside taking walks.

Apple, if I’m right, this is pretty normal. Ok? They are siblings and are growing up together. Both my cats do that as well, when one goes out to the yard, the other one cries. It could be she is calling her sister to come inside. It could be she is terrified of her sister going outside when she fears the outside so much. What a situation.

Have you tried getting Lucky to play with some toys while Joy goes outside?

I guess I have missed some previous discussion on this.  Why are you trying to force either kitten to go outside?

There are stroller things that you can put the kitty into that doesn't like the out-of-doors, so you can take the outdoor lover for a walk on a leash.  Check them out on pet websites.

I love hearing updates on the kittens, Apple.  We live out in the country far from town so I don't have to worry about putting my 1 yr old kittens on leashes because neither of them want to come into the house.  Heidi doesn't even like to be held. Her sister Shadow is a little better, at least she doesn't scratch me when I pick her up.  I've never had such wild kittens. I really do think it's harder having 2 the same age.  Mine, like yours, are vastly different in personality traits.  Wish I could be of more help.
