Kitten - dogs, snakes & property???

[Arimeh]

I have a male and a female cat - both are awesome with the kids, so I would say that its a personality thing, rather than a gender based thing that makes them good with kids.

My male cat will let the kids do anything to him, and just lie there and take it. My female cat isn't quite as tolerant however she absolutely adores DS and I quite often find her cuddled up to him on the couch. She was sitting on his chest this morning with her butt on his face. He thought it was funny.

Thanks ladies... i might look at getting a boy and atleast then i wont ever have to worry about kittens right.
We are on 4 acres and the nearest house is a bit away so i don't think we will have to worry too much about him annoying anyone else, more just watching him on the road.. DP wants him to be an 'outside cat' but i said he will have to sleep inside or we will have to find a way to keep him contained at night.. maybe build him a nice little house
