I love this site.

I have a Bengal named Mowgli. He is 9 weeks old, only had him 2 1/2 days now, he is slowly becoming less scared.
This is a hard time for both us and him I think, its hard having a cat who justs wants to run away!
Anyone have any suggestions on what I should be doing while he is this new let me know!

Heres a couple pics.

He was really young here! Maybe 3 or 4 weeks?


Here is one from yesterday

He's gorgeous!

Just let him take his own time to get used to the new place and people, usually doesn't take too long.

As G535 said, let him get used to the place. Also, you can use an old shoelace to play with him. He can chase and 'kill' the one end of it - and he will be playing with you, yet not so close that he is uncomfy.

Playing is a good way to bond with him! He is SOOO cute!

Hi, welcome! This site "can" become addictive, he he.

Mowgli is such a wonderful kitty! As mentioned, play time is a great way to bond and help him to overcome his caution and nervousness.

Welcome to PT! Funny how we ran across one another here.... we've "known of" one another many years on another, non-pet related, forum. Congratulations on your new sweet kitty and for finding PT. As you can see, I post here way more than the other forum.

WELCOME! Mowgli is a charmer . I have a bengal mix myself (Remus, in my signature) and he is the most social cat out of my herd. My newest kitty, Hoodini is about 10-12 weeks and he is just now starting to be social. Playing with him definately did help, and letting him set his own boundries helped too. I tried not to expose him to a lot of people at first, and now Im letting him choose who he wants to visit with. Some days he comes out of hiding, some days not lol.
