Get the one who aggressively seeks attention from you-

I love cats but I HATE Persians, they inbreed them to give them that pushed in "persian" face look and most of them are dumb as shit, no personalities whatsoever. You may as well get one of those robo-cats, they have more personality then a persian. :1orglaugh

I picked my kitty because he was a boy kitty with white short fur. He is very handsome and his name is Ralph!

Pound kittens are the best! Too bad they wouldn?t let me adopt because I didn?t have vet references in my current State and they were to lazy to call my vet for 15 years in another State.

I called a few a breeders and asked if they had any runts for sale. Went to a few places and left out of disgust. Finally, met with a breeder and he tried to sell us a few different kittens but an older kitten kept on interrupting the sales presentation. Two hours of smelling cat piss another 45 minutes of the owner saying goodbye to the no-named cat. (The cat was priced at 650.00 and we paid 200.00 w/o papers) We brought home a Persian cat? Had him for almost seven years and he is part of the family.

Try to find a kitten that was loved by someone. Good luck
:)

Check my nick for references...lol

First, when you look at them, find one that is paying attention to you. They are very sensitive. Check to see if they are playful with the other cats, but not mean to them. If they are too dominant, they will likely turn out mean.

If all they want to do is love on you, they may not be very smart or they may be too submissive.

If they are still young, see how well they can follow your finger with thier eyes. And early developement of coordination is a good sign they will also be inteligent.

Ask some questions about the mother. Does she ever pee anyplace other than the litter box? You may be able to tell by the smell when you walk in the house. It's very important.

look for personality if you're looking for an inteligent cat that will love you but still be independant.

Above all, treat them like you would a young child, and be kind. You will be greatly rewarded with amazing friendship.

I disagree. Moderate attention seeking and good attentiveness is better. (My opinion as a cat lover)

No way - both of our cats are super mellow around the dog - and we have a pit bull! (Both of our kitties are orange by the way)


I have always had cats (and always will) and I have noticed that when picking a kitten, the ones which are purring tend to be the best (although purring does not always denote happiness - it is a good indicator)

Also, try to remember that kittens are babies - be patient - they will eventually stop crying & whining and in time, even get used to the dog. Kittens scratch because they aren't able to retract their claws - and they nibble because they are teething - this too will stop.

There is a process which is known as "gentling". Handling an unruly cat can sometimes be difficult, but by training him from kittenhood to be handled, you'll be able to groom, clip toenails, and examine him routinely with his full cooperation. I am able to bathe both of my cats and brush their teeth - with virtually no resistance (it doesn't mean they are pleased...but it does show that they trust me and that they are not uncomfortable being handled)

How to gentle your kitten:

Gently pick up your kitten at least once a day and speak soothingly to him in a soft, quiet voice. Hold the kitten for 5 minutes or so before setting him down in a favorite spot.
After a few days, gradually sit down while holding the kitten. Talk to him quietly and pet him gently. Don't encourage rough play (scratching, biting). If he tries it, tell him firmly, 'No.' and gently put him down.
When kitty is comfortable with the first two steps, stroll around the room holding him and talking to him. Don't distract him with outside elements; he should be focused on totally.
Put the kitten on a well-lighted table and stroke him. You can talk baby-talk to him if you want. It's okay.
Next day, on the table, pick up a paw and press gently to extend the nails, examine the nails and toes, then gently examine the foot and leg. Get to know the normal feel of his limbs.
Back to the table again. This time, examine the kitten's ears visually. You may have to move his head about so you can see inside his ears. Feel the outside of the ears to familiarize yourself with them.
On the table again, gently palpitate (press gently) the kitten's abdomen. Stroke his back and sides, feeling for any abnormalities. Again, you're familiarizing yourself with his normal characteristics.
Open the kitten's mouth and look at the teeth. Rub your finger along the length of the teeth starting at the gum. Insert your index finger in the corner of his mouth to view the back teeth.
By now, your kitten should be totally comfortable with your handling of him, so grooming, teeth cleaning and toenail clipping should be a breeze. Give him a treat for being such a cooperative kitten.

Tips:

These steps should take about five minutes per session. Start with one session per day, and add more as needed, depending on the kitten's tolerance for handling.
As with all other forms of training, don't make it an adversarial experience. When kitty gets tired, or if he's just having a bad day, give him a hug and gently put him down. You can always try again later in the day, or even tomorrow.
As your kitten grows older, inspect him at least once a week. You can combine the inspection with his grooming session.


Cats are amazing creatures: strong, graceful, warm, intelligent and very, very loving and loyal companions - no matter what particular breed.

Yo yo yo. Picking the right kitten is easy. Try to cum in his mouth, if he likes it buy him.

Here are my little pussies.
