I love our two cats - we got a brother and sister from the same litter and they play together all the time - so it takes the responsibility of playing with them all the time away from us!!!

Mine are sooo gentle with the kids, they are amazing - but yes - the cat hair! arghhh its on everything!!!!

Mine came already litter trained (I think they were 8 weeks when I got them?) and its only the male that has ever missed the tray (its a male thing - that "aiming" thing - they just have NFI)

But yup, I love mine!!! Definitely recommend it over a dog (although I love our dog - and hated giving the boxer away - but they are so much less hassle than dogs, cheaper to fix, cheaper to worm, cheaper to feed!!!)

Good luck

Oh and after reading MD's post - if you get them fixed, most likely won't come across spraying issues Ours never sprays on anything - just misses his poop in the tray!
