You should DEFINATELY buy one from a reputable breeder, so that the scent sac can be properly removed. A little secret, if you look behind either their right, or left ear, you will see either one or two blue tattoo dots. One dot means they have been descented, two means descented AND spayed/neutered.

As far as the attraction to them? I just love their playfullness and curiosity. they are ALWAYS wanting to play. We play ball by rolling it back and forth, they like to crawl underneath the couch and then play with our feet, or crawl up behind our necks and take a nap. and they are SMART! I have one that can climb up onto the kitchen cabinets and open the pantry if I don't watch him! They are just tons of fun. Alas they require a LOT of attention, and since the wife has started working, we are planning on finding them a new home where they can get all the love they deserve.
