Product Description
==================
This is a top-of-the-line kitten with performance to match. He has a playful vibe with his strikingly striped fur, pointy ears and cute pot-belly that waddles when he zooms around chasing his toys and litter-mates. He loves to climb his way up to shoulders and purr while watching the world go by. He makes quick friends with cats and does the same with people. His favorite toy is his pipecleaners - bringing them to bed and sleeping with them even.

Viper, brother
*****
Vespa showed up packaged in fuzzy fur that was sticking out in crazy directions that matched his personality. He's a great looking guy and a sweet guy who loves to play. We like to play under doors and bat small toys back and forth. We're not tennis players but we do pretty well. Vespa isn't timid - he leaps into playing with new kittens, new toys and new people with all his might.

3 stars for Vespa because he's always at the food bowl when I want to be there. Good guy... but food is food. I should give him more stars but he definitely hogs the food bowl. Great guy for snuggling, he loves to curl up with me and Viper when we're tired. We like to pile up together for nap time. When it's play time he's always good to horse around with, flipping me around after I flip him around. He's also pretty good by himself - playing with toys when no kittens are available. Would recommend to friends, despite the food bowl thing.

This isn't my first time getting a kitten online but I was surprised at the quality of build of this guy. From his long legs that still let him jump up to catch string toys to his dedication to making sure he's always bathed and clean (always a concern with kittens) he doesn't disappoint. This guy comes from APA so includes vaccinations and fixing - built right in. Normally that's extra from most places so that's a bonus. Packaging was good - no damage while being transported but product doesn't really like car rides or the carrier. That's not unusual with this type of product so no dings on that one.

It was love at first sight with Vespa. We didn't know what we were missing until he came to us with is siblings. He's definitely a playful and happy kitten who loves being picked up and snuggled. He's a bit smaller than his siblings so he has to be extra brave when playing with them. Vaporetto is right though - he does hog the food bowl. He wants to be as big and strong as his siblings.

Add-on purchase
==================
Litter-mates available for extra snuggling and cuteness. Bluetooth pairing between kittens isn't available but they have their own kitten bonding.
