I love cats. I just adore them... infact I'm crazy about cats. I
have 60 (yes.... 60 furry critters) I got involved seriously in cat breeding
in 1991. My first Persian was Messy ( a tortieshell ) After winning in cat shows I
acquired my stud named Prince - a handsome guy whose sire is a pedigree.
What produced good temperament? In short good parents and handling.
The first seven weeks are crucial - after that it's too late. The best
kittens are those which have been hand fed, for instance with big litters,
when there are often not enough developed teats to go round. Otherwise
daily handling is essential from birth and, when they get mobile, playing
with them for many hours that could have been spent in the "Gerai
Mamak"
