Two things I learned from Roger Tabor's book on cat behavior: The critical window for socializing kittens is from age 2 weeks to age 7 weeks. If, during that 5-week period, 3-4 different people play with the kittens for 45 minutes a day, with the kitten's mum present, the kittens will be fully socialized to humans and have confidence, be outgoing, etc., as they grown into cats. After 7 weeks of age, the critical window is passed.
Second: if the kittens can remain with their mum and siblings until 14 weeks of age before being put out for adoption, they will be fully trained in good cat deportment.

arfendale -- have you been hitting the catnip?

Arfendale -- if it's not catnip, maybe it's something about your monitor or video card. I don't see it.
