This sweet kitten is all loves and kisses. She’s pretty opinionated and will let you know when she’s had enough hugging. The only noticeable fear she seems to have is the outside, so she should remain an indoor only kitty. She’s the type that likes to sit on you and lay with you during a nap or television watching binge.
