My boyfriend and I are looking to adopt a kitten. Ideally, we'd like to adopt a younger kitten, so that we have more time with it and are more able to positively affect its temperament. Recently, we found a really cute 8 week old kitten who purred when we held it after taking it out of the cage, but when let go in the bonding room, only wanted to play with toys, and virtually ignored us. Is this behavior typical with young kittens? I totally understand a cat's need to play, but as a long-term thing, we want a cat who enjoys being held and petted and loved. Does anybody have any input on this subject?
