She trusts us totally, i think she welcomes us giving her a break for 10 mins, so she can stretch her legs and go have dinner. If anyone esle but us go near them then she will hiss at them!
opposite, she loves the camera, shes such a poser. She loves watching tv also, ice age 2 is her favorite

Right, 23 days old now. Really starting to develop personalities already, and almost up and about, albeit a bit wobbly
Coco taking a 5 min breather, she wasnt in the mood for a picture today tho
And the Kitkats

You learn something new everyday. See, I was told off for handling my kitten before so many weeks. I was told the Mother would not interact with it now, and he wouldn't be as strong as the others. However, he's a real character and the best Cat I've owned. What you say makes real sense to me. Your cats are great. Seriously, I am sure my Mothers friend told me the Mother would eat them if they came into human contact.

yes they do.
Coco has been biting them the last week or so.
To the point where see litterally bear hugs them and sticks their whole head in her mouth
I called the vet and he said it was a mixture of her being so young, (shes only 14 months old her self the slapper) and because shes a maine coon.
Shes basically trying to stimulate them and is also basically playing with them.
Still freaks me out cos you hear this little kitkat screaming and turn around and shes chewing its head. But ive been assured its natural.
Here she is playing with my misses, but basically what it looks like with the kitkats also (note use of rear leg to aid grip and biting force)
As to bennis question, it depends a lot on the mother. Coco due to her pedigree bread and her natural instincts means she is a very sociable and human friendly cat.
As you know she will jump in the bath, open doors, fetch, basically all the thing a small dog can do.
If he mother cat is a bit more unfriendly then id defo be waiting a week or two before handeling them. And a fact you may like to know, Cats which are unsociable towards humans and other cats are normally because they were taken away from their mother too soon. ie before 8-9 weeks!
This is Coco the 1st day we had her home, as you can see shes not shy and already had a massive personality. Im hoping our kitkats will be like thie in about 5-6 weeks time.
And around the first birthady before christmas, i was just about to get in the bath when she dive bomed me, well more of a belly flop. remember the takes 5 years to reach full size! ANd in 6'4" before you say i must be a midget.

I am only going on what I was told. When I got my Kitten I picked him up and everyone in the girls house went ballistic. 'You'll have to take him now, the Mother will eat him'.
