    You advised making sure you speak with the breeder or owner of the kitten, and make sure you are aware of the personality of the cat before you pick it out. My sister wants to get a kitten, and she asked me to help her pick one out. We’ll have to consider different personalities, and what she thinks would be the best match for her. Thank you for the read.
