Well I did it! I went back to see the kitten again, and while he still wasn't too happy at being held this time I definitely felt it was because he wanted to go and play with the other cats, not run away and hide! After a very frank discussion about temperament and my reservations as to...

Thanks for the input Sandie - I was very surprised by the behaviour of this kitten, as the breeder is considered reputable, does not "mass produce" and has bred a good number of winning cats at shows, and her cats are bought by other breeders. The availability of OS kittens in my area is almost...

Thanks for the welcome Heidi and Adrienne - Adrienne I had a "Merlin" cat once too. He was all black except for a tiny white bit on the end of his tail. He found his way to my trailer when I was at a dog show (brave cat - going to a dog show!). He was very thin, obviously lost or...

I am not a breeder, but would certainly appreciate help with this question from experienced "cat people"... Yesterday I went to see a 4 month old male Oriental Shorthair kitten. The kitten had not been out of the nursery before and did not like being held, and when put down ran to hide...
