We have been searching for a kitten for ages and finally through an acquaintance she has managed to find us 1 or 2 kittens from a litter. they are 7/8 weeks old now, and are ready to come to us this week if we want them.
I have a major prob though...
I want younger kittens (ie 8 weeks) around for my son who is a bit anxious about pets ( he is desperate for kittne however) rather than a 12/13week old which I am guessing will be bigger a bit more boisterous and may put my son off or be scary for him.
So if we get them now at 8 weeks great - except we are going on hols for 2 weeks mid-july when I think most catteries won't take them in ( age wise) and to get a 2 x daily cat sitter will be nearly £200 for the 2 weeks.
So... do we wait until we get back from holiday to take them when they will be 13/14 weeks and risk them being a bit scary for him or do we not get these ones and wait until we get back fro hols and get one then....(which I am worried about as it has taken me nearly 3 months to find these ones which are reasonably prices (£15) and are not from someone offering a million kittens at £200 each which seems really common)
Any advice greatfully received - sorry for lengthy post and appalling spelling today!
