Welome to the forum! You'll soon be so hooked on Bengals you'll want another one! I've got 3 now in the space of 18 months, the last one was not planned though - a bit like children really!! Lynx sounds like a lovely boy and looks very handsome in the photos,

Hi and welcome,

Its lovely to meet you and hear about Lynx he sounds great, I love the description of him chatting to you. Lovely name too. I had a similar cat revelation too, very similar story, and I couldn't imagine my life without them either. That was May 2009......and now there are three. :lol:

I take mine out for walks too, we're lucky enough to have a house that backs onto fields so we take them for walks out there. Its an amazing feeling having them walk with us, of their own free will, especially when all three come together, it's very special and I always feel privileged.

I agree Louise, I would not even dare to take Lynx somewhere leash-less where there's any road or other humans around. I think I'll leave the harness thing for when he gets more chilled around people - I dont want to push him for fear it will make him resent other people more... I've noticed that since I gave up on intergrating him with other people the less skiddish he's been and the closer he gets to them (we get a lot of visitors to the house).

Hi Miki, Selena and Jules!

I've got some videos of Lynx interacting with his doggy buddy on YouTube under the username 'Kanaliqua' if you want to see. Pictures of them dont tell the full story. I'll post some piccys in the next post. You all have such georgous kitty's... As much as I would love to get another Bengal I cant...

We have too many animals and dont think the alpha (female) dog can handle having another kitty in the house. She'd have a melt down :wink:

... We already have 1 Kitten (Mine), 2 Dogs (Mother in law), 2 Horses (sister and law and her friend), 1 Pony (sister in law)and a pond of Koi and Gold Fish (father in law) on the property. It's a like a farm house here
