Torino is the total package. This kitten is fantastic with children and has been handled by the children in his foster home (ages 4 and 7) probably more than he wanted to be, but it never phased him. He starts purring the minute you enter the room because he knows you either have food, or are coming to snuggle... two of his absolute favorite things. He still has the silly orange cat behavior that will come out in random burst, but then he's right back to your lap ready for more snuggles. He has been around 3 senior dogs (20-65lbs) in his foster home and is very used to them and all their barking. He also loves the resident cats in his foster home. If you have some space on your lap, he would love to fill it.
