Veterinarians says you can tell if a kitten will have a nice temperament by watching how it plays with its toys. If it bites them, it may be too aggressive. If it pushes the toy along the ground and lets you take it without a fight, it's a good sign. If the kitten lets you hold it on its back, it may also be more sociable.
Vets recommend that you choose a kitten between eight and 12 weeks old. By then, you can get a sense of its personality.
Pick one that has a nice coat, bright eyes and no mites in its ears.
