My cats are a source of great joy to me. They are my babies, literally, as I assisted in their birth, help to feed them when Puteri, their mommy, wouldn't, bathed them, litter-bin trained them and look after them when they are sick!
They on the other hand, look up to me, of this I am sure, as their "big mommy cat". They cry for me when they are hungry, when they want to be groomed and wants to be carried. It like a mutual need thing for both parties. I loved to be needed and they let me know I'm needed..if that makes any sense at all.
However, as much as I love my kitties, or kids as I sometimes refer to them, this particular
cat breeds, Persian, does require owners to give them special attention. They need to be bathed and combed quite often as their fur can easily get mangled and then you're in big trouble as it can cause sores as the moisture (from all that self-grooming) does not get dried properly. By the way, these also happens in the dog world.
An easier to breed cat I have to say would be
Siamese Cats. I used to have one that crossed the rainbow bridge a long time ago. Her name was Snowy. I wished I had a picture of her to show you guys. She was simply lovely. She has this sweet face that would melt your heart. I still get teary eyed whenever I talk about her.

Anyway as I was saying, it is fairly easily to take care of Siamese kittens and Siamese cat care is relatively low as they generally take care of the grooming bit themselves and they are short-haired which definitely is a plus point too.
Whatever it is, if you are in the market for a kitten, choose wisely and choose a breed that you are able to handle. The kitty is going to be with you for a good several years!
Cheerio...
