SherriM has a question and I know that y’all are just the ones to help me answer it!
Awww Miz Poo is a sweetie. She is my favorite along with Tommy & Sugarbutt. Did you have any idea she would be such a lovey girl when you adopted her as a kitten? I ask this because I want one of those people-lover lap cats again someday.
So… I haz questions for you and/or your readers…
Is it possible to ascertain a kittens personality at two months of age? Which leads me to ask, what stage of kittenhood do you and Fred favor? When does their personality really start to appear? Would it be wrong to adopt two kitten siblings if I work full time? So many questions….
If anyone could give advice, or direct me to a good kitty adoption reference book, I’d be forever grateful. If you didn’t live over thirteen hours away from me, I’d be seriously hoping to adopt a Crooked Acres Foster kitty. Sigh!
Miz Poo was a needy little lovebug from the get-go. I very highly suspect that it’s because she was a bottle baby, in my experience they tend to be friendlier and a bit needier than your average mama-raised kitten.
I think you can get some glimpse into their personality at two months of age, but I really think that their true personality comes out around 3 months. I actually really like them when they’re two months old, but Fred prefers them older – even older than 3 months, I think.
Whether you work full time or not, I’d HIGHLY recommend adopting two kittens together. They’ll have each other as company, and as snuggle buddies, and will chase each other around like crazy things. And there’s just something so sweet about the idea of two siblings spending their entire lives together.
How about it, y’all, do you have words of wisdom/ advice for Sherri? Please chime in!

“Upside-down selfie!”
