I am thinking about getting two kittens - is it best to have male and female or is it okay to have two of the same sex?

I am planning to get a kitten in the near future and am looking for one that will be extremely cuddly, affectionate and get along with my Mastiff. Are there any certain clues or hints I can look for when I hold or choose from a litter?

We are debating about getting a cat or a kitten. We have two boys ages 3 & 4. I'm an at-home mom. Do you suggest getting a kitten, or would it be best to get a full-grown cat. I've heard two different opinions, and was curious to what you thought, since you are a "kitten expert."

What is a good kitten for a child?

How do I pick out a kitten? What should I look for?

What kind of kitten would be good for a very active household?

I've never had a cat and never really been around them very much, but I would like to get a kitten. What is the most important thing I should know before I get a kitten?

I have been looking into getting 2 kittens to be outside barn cats. I have gone to a few animal rescues and have found that they will not let me adopt a kitten knowing it will be an outside cat. I have told them the kitten will spend the first few months inside until it is old enough to go out side and will have warm shelter in the tack room, plenty of food and water, as well as love and human interaction. The rescue groups stressed that ALL cats adopted must be indoor cats and they have made me feel like a horrible person for wanting an outdoor cat. Is it inhumane to have an outside cat?
