The one thing that's important for a healthy cat is that it wasn't weened sp? too soon. When you take the kittens away from their mom before the mom pushes them away, they end up whiny and needy.

The irony is that most peple, like you, want the cute cuddly kittens, happy and playful, but they are only like this because of the comfort of the mother nearby.

So make sure the cats you get are not too young and inquire about the mother, just like people, cats are social animals and manny of their 'mannerisms' are passed down through learning.

I've spent most of my life around cats, so these are some theories my wife and I have developed after studying and aiding more cat births than I care to remember, although they were all enjoyable events.
