I have had her since she was 1 week old and I have bottle fed her. She is now about 9 or 10 weeks old, but small for her age. She was brought to me because someone stepped on her and her tail was broken. I had to have it amputated, so now she has a cute little nub. She is not affected by this experience what so ever. She eats, plays and poops just fine. She is very energetic and loves to play. She always has her "motor" running (purr-purr all day long) She is a very happy girl. She would be much happier in a home with another cat, or her sister Fluffy, but I think she would also do well alone. I dont know about dogs because she hasnt interacted with any since I have had her. She would also do wonderful with children 7 or older
