Well, I just got off the phone with the nice (retired) bengal breeder who lives in VT. She said NOT to give Ti back to the original breeder. I had emailed her (the nice breeder) earlier last week, and she didn't get back to me. She said she hasn't opened her email for days! She asked me to hang on, get tranquilizers from the vet for Ti and then she will contact current bengal owners and offer him out that way. That also means that I will have him around for a while longer. I will ask the vet tomorrow - if he will give me some cream amitripeline (sp) for his ear to keep him quiet until and while he is being placed.

I will call the not so great breeder tomorrow and cancel Ti's return to her. Everyone who said I was wrong for trying to return him, was right. What was I thinking? If you saw Miley at the vet's you would know that I have reached my limit and any way to get Ti out of here sounded good to me. Re-thinking it, Ti needs to go to a good home, one that I know will work for him.

I was so very frank with the nice breeder, insisting that Ti has to leave here....no room for movement on that issue. She said it is not uncommon for Bengals to hunt out/down weaker cats and try to harm them. She said the original breeder didn't do me any favors by giving me an aggressive cat with a cat like Miley. Oh well, I knew that.

So, Tuesday is off. It may take a couple of weeks to get him placed! Yikes.
