Question
I am thinking about geting a teacup kitten. what do you think. I live in a 4 bed house with large garden. I have 3 children at home and am at home alot myself.

Answer
Lorraine,

Personally, I do not belive in what must be done genetically to produce a "teacup" kitten.  To me cats are beautiful in the sizes we pretty much see and, I feel, they should not be any more diminutive than the smallest breed, i.e. the Singapura.

Other than that, most cats would like to live at your house, assuming the children are old enough and understand that pets are living, breathing creatures and not just another toy.

Best regards... Norm.
