<human>: I visited the adoption center today, I was in kittens (2-3 months old, one is very young) room. SOOOOO cute! They all have different personalities and traits. Some meanie/clawly/bitie, some very nice and cuddly. 

My father told me it's better to adopt older cats (2-3 years) so you would know their personalities, because if you adopt a kitten, you wouldn't know what they'll be like when they become an adult. Myself, I don't want a meanie, but a tolerant, calm and cuddly that doesn't bite or scratch all of time for no reason.

I think if kitten is calm, tolerant, cuddly, it will grow up this way. If a kitten is a meanie, scratch for no reason, bite you, act your legs like a scratch post, it will grow up to be this way except it will be more painful.

Does anyone have an input here? I want to adopt a kitten because I feel I would bond more if I grow up with a kitten in the beginning.

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: Do kittens change personalities when they grow up? I.e meanie will grow up as a meanie, nice will grow up as nice.
