Our new Girl "Kiko" Bengal kitty

[Hoozdat]

WOW is she a hand full! Always testing the limits, attacking anything that moves.
Loves....LOVES water!

My husband and I have no children (Human children) and it has been years since we had a kitten. Kiko is 5 months old and a ball of fire.

We have always had give awaqys or dropin and stay for evers. So for some crazy reason my husband wanted a Bengal. I said ok, your buying...hee hee.

She is a wild thing and at the same time so darn cute and kissable. Boy did we have to change our habbits quickly. We had forgotten that kittens get into everything....EVERYTHING!!!!

So like a good mama to my kitty's I pay close attention to what she is doing and where she is at at all times. One night she wasnt ready for bed so I didnt think it would be that bad to let her roam around :rolleyes: see what things look like at night.

I noticed she was very quite;) so I thought I'd better get up and see what she was doing. Not in the kitchen, or the living room....:eek: the Toliet! Her tail out her feet in! Her little head popped up as she looked at me "yeah company, come join me!"

Little stinker! She is lots of love and excitement for us. And finally I think our other kitty Sugar is getting use to her.

[Hoozdat]

This is a wonderful site. I'm actually goofing off at work so I have'nt had a chance with downloading pitures.
We have lots and lots of pictures of our children and every time they move or blink we are taking more.

[catcrazylady]

Welcome to PT!! What a BEAUTIFUL little Bengal girl you've got!! So glad to hear that you have lots of pictures! You will fit right in with this group because there are never enough pictures!! Make sure you post in general too because a lot of people don't check breeds to often.
Looking forward to lots of pics and stories about your furbabies!!

[jazzcat]

Wow, she is very pretty.

Welcome to PT!!!

[rpcathouse]

What a beautiful face she has. Kiko sounds like a normal kitten to me. Active and healthy. Congratulations on you new baby. Now is she a Daddy's girl and a Mommy's girl. Have fun with her for she is only small once.

Welcome to PT, Hoozdat. Kiko is beautiful! What a sweet face! I too goof off at work and post on PT when I'm not too busy. This is a friendly place and many people will help with the picture-posting thing - we LOVE pictures!

Where in CA are you? A few of us are going to a cat show in San Jose on Saturday - if you're in the Bay Area, you're more than welcome to join us!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Welcome to Pet Talk Hoozdat.:D Your Bengal kitten Kiko is gorgeous and I look forward to hearing more about her and Sugar and seeing more pics too.:)

[Hoozdat]

I Live Santa Cruz, CA. I didnt know of the cat show thats a first. I usally see the signs posted. I work in Los Gatos. Where is the show. I would love to go if I feel better. I have a bad cold.

Here is another picture of Kiko. My husband is currently working on my PC it's having problems with adobe photo shop.

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm also going to the cat show.:) AmberLee and I will be going both days. Here's the link to the thread about it. I hope you can make it. You can pm me to let me know if you'd like to go so we can set up a meeting place.:)

http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=39523 I hope to see you there.:D

[HayleyRosie]

Welcome to PT. Kiko is beautiful! Can't wait to see more pictures.

[smokey the elder]

Welcome! How appropriate for a cat lover to live in Los Gatos. I think we all know what that means.:D

Kiko is gorgeous! Is she getting along better with Sugar?

[Vio&Juni]

OMG! Kiko is one of the most beautiful kitties I've ever seen!

Welcome to PT!

[Hoozdat]

We think she's the best little kitty ever!
We are trying to make a website for all our kitty pictures so I will have them soon for everyone to view. I will have some pitures of my parents animals too.
Here's a picture of our girls belly.

[Vio&Juni]

Although my Juni has nothing to do with Bengal cats, she's just a simple house moggy, her tummy is like Kiko's.

[Hoozdat]

Your kitty certainly looks like a bangel. We love our girl and Sugar to.
He's finally sleeping on the bed again but Kiko is not so whatcha going to do? She sleeps when she's ready.
She's a kitten you know...they have things to do in the middle of the night.

Like knock over our moutain bikes downstairs so it scares us to death and we run downstairs in the dark before turning on the lights just to see that she's already out of the room and safe.

My girl, I love her.

What dose Moggy mean?

[PayItForward]

What is the difference between a Bengal cat and a tabby ?

Well, I know Bengal is a breed and tabby is a colouring but how do you tell the difference ?

[Vio&Juni]

Moggy is a British English word for cat :)

[Julie Grove]

Kiko and Juni are both stunning! I have a tabby, Lucy, and, I must say that as far as I am concerned, (and in my ignorance) I think that a Bengal is just a posher version of a tabby!! (but only ever so slightly - sorry Lucy, I love you even if you're not posh).

[Hoozdat]

Yes, in some ways I will agree with you on that. I love all cats no matter what they look like and animals as well.
One thing I will say is my girl has beautiful markings on her back and legs. I never thought I would have a pedigree or purchase one but I have and I LOVE HER! She is my girl.

Someone asked in the thread if she was a mama’s girl or daddy’s girl. She is a mama’s girl which makes it hard. Sugar is a mama’s boy as well and it is so hard to sit there a pet them both with out the other seeing...lol BRATS

Kiko will actually get up and tap my arm if it's petting Sugar...lol Brats I have furry little brats. Sugar will make a mean little growl if he sees I'm touching her at the same time I m touching him.

P.S.
I believe that all cats think their POSH...:D

[Hoozdat]

The Bengal is a medium to large domestic feline that originates from crossings of the small Asian Leopard Cat (ALC) to the domestic cat in an attempt to create a companion with an "exotic" look but a domestic temperament. After four to five generations of Bengal-to-Bengal breeding, the breed is recognized for championship competition by most international domestic cat associations including TICA, ACFA, GCCF, and AACE.

[Julie Grove]

Gosh! I've certainly been told. How dare I suggest otherwise - of course all cats are posh....

[Hoozdat]

Not trying to make waves:D I don’t think any kitty is better than the other....

Welcome to PT!

Vio: no wonder you thought that. I think Kiko looks a lot like Juni -which for sure makes her one of the prettiest girls:D

[Randi]

Welcome to PT! :) Your Kiko is beautiful!! Looking forward to hear more and see pics - also of Sugar!

Ps. You need to resize your pics, do you know how to? ;)

[Hoozdat]

I posted a new thread to your answer by accident...:rolleyes:
thanks for the reply:

[guster girl]

My boyfriend and I just got a Bengal kitten in November. He is so sweet, we love him. He was listed on his papers as being Sepia spotted. I will try to post a photo of him soon. I'm terrible at that stuff! But, I think Kiko is very pretty! Did you see the photo of "Nix" on September 18 in the catoftheday archives? He is amazing looking! Our kitty was born on the fourth of July and his name is Lock. (This is my first post!)

[Hoozdat]

Congradulations! We LOVE our girl. She is a character. Cant wait to see pictures of your new Bengal boy. Kiko has beutiful rosettes and is rufus in color.
I have not had the time to put more pictures up but I can not wait for you to share.
:D

[EssTer]

Kiko is very cute ) I love shorthaired, striped cats ;) + siameses with blue eyes :)

[Hoozdat]

I love horses! I use to ride with my friend who had three, one named Yankee I adored! He would lick my face:eek: Always brought him a treat. I cannot remember what breed he was kind of looked like a mustang.

One day she asked me to ride a different horse I cannot remember his name. He was the one she would ride all the time until she got a new one. She said to keep up or he would try to race the horse she was one.

My goodness he was a bugger! We road in the river and the stinker would try to roll over while I was still on him.

He was a silly horse....:rolleyes: :p

[kimlovescats]

I'm not sure how I missed this post before now! :rolleyes:
Anyway, welcome to PT.... Kiko is adorable, and I look forward to seeing more of Kiko and Sugar!:)

[guster girl]

I'm doubting very seriously that this link will work, but, I thought it would be a worth the try! Let me know if it does, ok? If not, I'll try again later when I get home. It's one of my favorites of our new Bengal kitten, Lock. You can't really see how pretty his spots are, but, it's a good photo, nevertheless. It's actually one I've sent to "catoftheday.com". Hopefully, he'll be up there soon! Here's the link:

http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/users/3fadef24_13f28/bc/pets/__sr_/lock+%232.jpg?phPo2BAB7KfpCAPO

I was able to just copy it and someone said it may work!

[Hoozdat]

:( Didnt work. I stiil have to get my rear in gear and send out some more of our babies

[guster girl]

Alright, I just resized this photo, so, I hope it works and it isn't huge!! I'll keep trying if it's too big to view. :) Here's Lock at five months old.

[guster girl]

Ok, if the next few posts from me are annoying or deemed inappropriate, please tell me! I just don't know how to include more than one link on a reply. I've only so far been able to figure out how to do one at a time. So, the next few are going to be some of my favorites. This one is to show you how big his paws are! This one was two days after we got him.....he was four months old.

[guster girl]

Ok, this one is him in his kitty bed. It was expensive, but, I loved it and he actually sleeps in it! You can see his pattern a little bit in this one....

[guster girl]

Here's where you can see his spots really well. Geez, I hope no one gets mad at all these replies! :(

[guster girl]

This is one of my favorites of Lock just chilling out, which, of course, because he's cat, he does a lot of! I'm a wannabe photographer, too, that's why I'm posting these. Just to see if people like them.

[guster girl]

Ok, this is the last one! Here's Lock at six months old, he's chilling in the light of the window! Sorry that I couldn't figure out to put all the photos on one post. :)

[Hoozdat]

I just love him!
Very handsome, can't wait to show my husband and KIKO….
:D
