I remember when you would describe Miley with not so nice terms because she did not want to play or have anything to do with Ti. Now, I see the same not so nice words about Ti. It seems clear to me that Ti is a dominant cat (which Bengals can be) and simply scares Miley. In some situations, certain cats will not get along with each other, but they're just being cats. The Bengal breed is crossed with the Asian Leopard Cat with some outcrossing of the African Wildcat by some breeders (both wild cats, thus making the Bengal a "hybrid" breed), which makes it a naturally more agressive breed.
Please do more research on Bengal cats before posting something like this. As a retired Bengal breeder and now a Bengal rescuer and owning four Bengal cats of my own, I know the breed very well. Yes the Bengal breed is a result of crossing the Asian Leopard cat with a domestic cat, usually an Ocicat, but they are now domestic and have been removed from the "hybrid" line from several generations. Unless the Bengal was an F2, F3 or even F4 there should be no issues with agressiveness.
My cats are the best, lickiest, dog like cats around. They love the water, cuddle with my son and enjoy spending time with my other furries which includes other mixed breed rescues, my rats, and cuddle with my son all the time. I could never ask for a better cat, and having them be beautiful makes them ever so more fantastic!
As far as being agressive that is just a load of $@#%, because that is so not true! I have never had a problem with socialized animals being agressive. I believe that Ti acts this way because he simply was raised in a cattery, probably in a cage and not socialized with other animals as well, or people for that matter.
SAS is doing her very best to give Ti the life he so desires, and she has done nothing wrong. She is trying to find him a nice caring home and I am sure that is her top priority right now. I don't believe she anticipated Ti to act this way, or Miley too for that matter. They just simply do not get along. She is not going to keep him in her home because injuries occur. She has done her very best to keep him there, and tried to get them to get alone. It's not working out, period. The next best thing was for her to place him, which she is doing. She's just not giving him away to anybody...some stranger on the street.
Sorry if I take offense but what you are saying about her and the Bengal breed is just simply not true!
