White Kitten: Decision Time!
We have been drooling over our breeder friend's new white kitten for the last 4 weeks or so.
I went to visit and took these pictures:
The fourth picture is the kitten's older brother, now a year old. He's a beautiful, super-friendly and confident lad.
We now have to make a decision because someone else has shown an interest and we have been given first refusal.
Apparently it is a bedridden lady who is looking for a cat as a companion, and her carers are coming on Monday to choose a kitten.
For our part, we wonder if having 3 MCs thundering around the place might be too much? Or just loads of fun...!
Anyway, the plan is to maybe visit tomorrow and then decide. It could go either way!!!
The MC addiction strikes again.....

Yes, it is a strong addiction.......Howlinbob likes this.

I have to say he is adorable and his older brother is just LUSH. I don't think I'd be able to resist...

Well, being somewhat biased on the subject of solid whites, ahem! my advice would be of course you should! We have four (well, three and a half) Maine Coons rampaging around now and I don't suppose that will be the final head count ...

Go For It!
I have a new 3 1/2 month old white baby boy. He gets along well with my two MC gals. Mine is blue eyed and deaf but being deaf has not hindered him at all. I received great info from folks on this site and he is just wonderful! Casper's only problem is that his nose gets dirty when he eats and he hates having you clean it.

Well, I wasn't expecting anyone here to say 'hmmm, that's not a very good idea is it?'
Thanks all! x

Ok it's a lousy idea, definitely the worst idea anyone could have.
Does that even things up.
Now go get him.
I would love a white MC.

As a owner of 23 MC and 1 Housecat, I can say how more the better
But I think that the breeder can not put presure on you, to make a dissision today.
I don't know if the breeder do a hearingtest for the kittens when they bin old enough?
Most of the time after that test they let the new owners choose.
I sit with the same, I get a new white male...he is now 5 weeks old, with 9 weeks he get the hearingtest and after that I make my choice...( and I have 4 white male's to choose from )

Conny, although I think it's good to know whether the kitten is deaf or not, frankly I don't think it should be a factor when one chooses their kitten - unless, of course, it's gonna live outside and wander on the streets, which I hardly think is the case.
My breeder told me there were two deaf ones in the litter (mine is one of them) and I really didn't mind. Only thing is, deaf cats do much better when they're around hearing cats - the hearing ones tend to act as a guide to the deaf ones. Other than that, they cope really well!
