moms & Dads of Bengals

[Laura1]

My sweetheart Kitty Boy died of nasty cancer in July. I was heartbroken! I'd had him for sooooo many years. Anyway, I adopted another boy in August at the local Humane Society- he was an owner surrender, 5.y.o. very gorgeous boy. It was a few days later that I was online and discovered that he is a Bengal! I never knew they existed! He is marbled & very swirly- black, gray, cream, etc., etc., etc.- colors I've never seen before all one one kitty, and near the tip of his tail there's a solid white ring. His name (according to the shelter) is Ringo- he knows it so well, so I didn't change it. He's extremely affectionate and talkative. He's a big boy, too. I've been researching the breed- it's interesting!

Laura1,

I am sorry about the loss of your Kitty Boy and know how difficult it is to lose our babies.

Ringo is just gorgeous and I'm sure will capture your heart in no time at all Bengals are definitely unique - their personalties are just so commanding.

Looking forward to hearing more about Ringo and seeing more pictures when it's convenient.

Hmmmmm.... I don't know the answer to that, and since I've had Ringo for only a few months, I can say that he never tries to go slip out and get outside. He is content to stay in. Another thing about him- he previous owners must never have given him any "people" food because he is 100% NOT interested in anything other than his cat food. I tried to give him a piece of turkey and he walked away from it! HUH? I consider myself lucky and I am not going to try it again with any food!

Well from what I know bengals like it outside but most come with a contract stating you are NOT allowed to have them outside unsupervised, Bailey loves to go for a stroll harnesed and leashed of course,he is to the point of likeing going in the van as well..he will now crie at the door when we leave,my female Midori does not like to go out or even near a open door lol..she to will NOT touch anything but her everyday cat food..not even a new brand lol
Bailey will eat just about anything you set in front of him lol..each Bengal is different.
