Bengals.....

[Mad Mags Moo]

Well the Bengals spent a good hour outside and it was fun - until it was time to get inside!!! They were very excited and were chatting away and they loved to go in the long grass - tuna for tea tempted them in and also help from hubby to get the girls in - they were a bit scared of the big hairy man so soon dashed back inside to safety!!
The owners do let them outside under supervision but they are on the whole indoor kitties.
The weasel toy was not that great a hit - it did make them quiet but I think they were scared of it!
Ah well only another 7 days before mummy, daddy and little person (3 year old!) are back home and then they will be happier cats - but they supposedly do love their Aunty Mags - have been named Magic Maggie but I think the magic is on strike at moment!
Any more ideas to keep these pesky kids quieter would be appreciated!!!

Do they play fetch? That's far more work for them than for you... and can be accomplished with a crumpled ball of paper as easily as a fancy toy ... Maybe a catnip mouse would work for the first attempt, more tempting that way.

Yes, Bengals are known to be very vocal. When I've seen them at cat shows they're very loud compared to most of the other cats there so I really don't think that this is a medical issue.

Giving them lots of attention and excercise is great. I wonder of they like catnip. If they do then maybe this could help to calm them down a bit. Cats like so many different kinds of toys that it's hard to tell which toy would be best. My cats love the small catnip mice, some of them love balls, anything you can drag around and they can chase is also great. Some cats also love the laser pointer. My Pearl loves to play with straws and my Ziggy loves pipecleaners that I make into spiders so every cat is different. Good luck.
