Kittens are fantastic fun—playful, funny, loving, and energetic. It’s easy to spend hours just watching them, playing with them, petting them, and enjoying them to the fullest. They don’t stay kittens, of course—though many remain young at heart throughout their lives. T he very best news is that kittens grow up to be cats, which are just as beautiful and, in many ways, better companions. Adult cats spend longer in one place—particularly laps—than crazy little kits that race all over the house, pouncing on anything that moves and scaling your curtains or trou- ser legs for fun, hell-bent on seeing how many of their nine lives they can use up! The great advantage of getting a kitten rather than an adult cat is that you can mold him to your home and family, socializing him thoroughly to ensure he is confident around children, dogs, other cats and so on. You don’t have this luxury with an adult cat, and have to hope that someone else has already done the hard work for you.
