P.s. what characteristics do Bengals have behaviour wise which might be different to a normal moggie? Harry is a Birtish Blue and they have a set of characteristics for the breed which I could tick off for him.

Compared with our 2 Burmese boys, her personality couldn't be more different. She's a lot more highly strung and vocal. Most breeders supply what is known as an Stud Book Tradition (SBT) which is a domestic cat pure and simple. However some will supply an early generation (EG). Generally these are termed F1, F2, F3,F4, F5. After F5 it is accepted that this is the line where EG stops and SBT begins. However that's not to say you won't get a strange cat :lol1: An F1 is bread as follows, and ALC x Domestic Bengal = F1 F2 = F1 x Domestic F3 = F2 x Domestic and so on. Here is a link to some great articles; http://www.gayzette-bengals.co.uk/html/article.html These were written by a chap who started a large breeding program. He's not well liked by the community and has since sold all his stock to Gayzette Bengals where I purchased Kora. Pauline and Frank are very good breeders and very experienced with exotics. You need a DWA license to keep ALCs which they have. As such they can supply EG cats. I'm really keen on buying one but the price puts me off sadly. They also have a Serval :eek: Bengals are not cats you would want to jump in and buy. Some days I get no peace from Kora. If she's not howling her head off she's dropping her ball at my lap for a never ending game of fetch :lol1: |

Beautiful pets on this thread :luvlove:
My Blue Point Siamese. Been posted before, but he is not the easiest cat to take a picture of :D http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96...00/Perry-1.jpg And the cat we rescued before Christmas. He had been living rough on the farm and took us about 8 weeks to catch him. He was a nightmare at first but has turned into the most adorable pet, ever. Poor thing had been dumped. Some rotten folks in the world. Vet thinks he has quite a bit of Maine Coon in him as he is quite big with a huge tail, but he is just our little rescue moggy. Here he is with our GSD, his best pal. :) http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96...0/P1050215.jpg |
I'd love a cat who played fetch. :) Harry almost had it, but he got bored too easily.....

Lee, I love your little rescue cat, he's gorgeous!

Anyway 18 years later Jess is very ill, she's stopped eating and the vet has diagnosed a heart murmur & thyroid problems. She's had 5 injections and the vet has told my parents not to bring her back.

My first cat, Dylan, had the same problems. He was 20. He died under the kitchen chair, with me stroking him. It broke my heart for days. :( |

Just got off the phone from my Mum. The cat that was mine, that is now hers (if that makes sense!) is being put down tonight. :( She's 14 and a half and has a tumour on her spine right above her back legs so she cannot move and has become incontinent. Poor thing. Shame cos my parents lost their other cat about 2 months ago through an RTA, though he was pretty old and poorly too.
Pets are hard to lose aren't they? |

Quite traumatic by all accounts, but she's not in pain any longer, so that's all we can think of. She said she won't have any more pets now, but we'll see how long that lasts. There are plenty of cats who need homes and my mum will not be able to resist I reckon.... |
