I don't think the kittens were handled very much. I am not sure what the other kittens were like because they were taken to a pet shop. This little guy hid and when he was discovered, I offered to take him. I had lost my 14 year old, very loved Siamese the day after Christmas and had room for a new comer. I wanted a Siamese or a Maine Coon but do think that some purebreds are not as healthy as regular domestics. Also, three of my four cats are strays and I wanted to give a needy cat a home. My fourth cat is a Maine Coon and is a real lover.
