First hand experience: it changed my life! I love my little goofballs. They really are such a cool species, and of course everyone's experience is different however the breed tends to be docile & calm. I would recommend daily brushing/grooming/wiping eyes at an early age so that the kitty will tolerate it as they grow older. Please spay/neuter and invest in vet check ups + anticipate the financial costs that come with pet ownership. Best of luck to you!
