Hello all,

My name is Justine and I am 24 years old. I bought my first property last year with my boyfriend and Barrington is our first bengal (marbled boy), we are getting another in June. Just a long wait until we can pick up our new baby boy. I have recently been converted into a Bengal lover as I have always been into dogs.

I am an estate agent (start booing lol) in the Berkshire area and I have done this for almost 8 years now. When I am not at work I enjoy socialising, going out to restaurants and of course spending time with my boyfriend and gorgeous Bengal.

I am very black and white and also strongly believe in everything happens for a reason. 'Sliding Doors' is one of my favourate films.

Hi, everyone! My name is Julie. I'm 41 years old. My husband and I live in the central area of Pennsylvania, USA.

The people in my family say I'm one cat shy of being a Crazy-Cat-Lady, but I only have 3!

Spike is my 3 1/2 yr old snow Bengal. Ben is my 2 year old Bengal [17lbs!]. And we just recently brought Mimi home from a cat rescue. She is a 6 mo old Manx/Abby mix.

I work in the accounting department of an electronics company. My husband is an independent truck driver. The kitties keep me company while my husband is on the road. I was always a cat person, but I married a dog man. After 2 dogs and 12 years, I convinced my husband that a cat would be a better pet for our current lifestyle. He likes that Bengals are not "boring cats."

I'm looking forward to sharing ideas and comments with fellow Bengal people.

hey everyone my name is Sonu,

I have worked as a vet tech for 6 years and currently work at University of British Columbia, in Canada!
Me and fiance are avid bengal lovers! We have actually been breeding top quality pet bengals for about 5 years now!
We are looking into showing our cats in the TICA competitions! well one of the kittens anyways!

Hi everyone I am Michele from NYC who's partner in crime is my 2 1/2 year old F3 bengal male Dante'. When there is work I am an addiction counselor but would rather be playing the piano.
Im glad 2 b here as Dante has been quite anxiety ridden since our recent move from manhattan 2 the Bronx. F3s seem to be be as nervous as they r lovable with change. I assume the bit of survival skills from the Asion leopard cat kick in.
His intelligence is profound.
I am all about getting settled & secure in my new apartment lately while listening to music & the birds outside my window -next 2 the Botanical Gardens and the Zoo. who would've thought foliage & sweet sounds in the BRONX? yaaay!

Hi everyone I am Brandi , I am 26 I am a stay at home mom or four! Abby is 7 Eli and Anna are 4 and my little one Noah is 20 months. We live in Tennessee , USA and I am a proud stay at home mom I left nursing to be at home with them and lucky enough to have a husband that supports us. We have a maltipoo that we rescued from a puppy mill and I have always been a dog person! My husband on the other hand loves cats so I agreed that we would get a cat as long as it was a Bengal , so now here we are with a 2 year old maltiese poodle mix and a 4 month old bengal girl, their names are Max and BB.
When I am not chasing after kids or playing with the cat and dog I am painting abstract art. That is my passion my way to vent I guess you could say. I am looking at getting back into nursing when my 4 year olds get into school next year , and I guess you could say I am a cat lover now!!!! I have bengal fever we have our girl now and we are getting a male in a couple of months. it was nice to meet you all , Im glad you started this thread it was a great idea!

Hello there! I am Jo, 47 yrs, and I live in Portsmouth. I am Head Servant to Merlin, who is 12.5 yrs and an F4 brat, and very proud Nana to Tristan who is 2.5 years. The two of them sadly don't get on, because they are both noisy, and make each other cry! And they both want my attention all the time!
For my sins, I am a PCSO in the inner city, where life is never dull! I work shifts which puts Merlin in an either happy mood (lay-ins) or grumpy mood (late tea) then happy mood (Playtime!). I have tried to explain that one equals the other, to no avail.... He has no problem with the 7am starts, though.... waking me at 5am for a play before I go to work!
I have two classic Honda motorcycles, which Merlin inspects for me everytime the garage is opened! He also likes to 'help' me with running repairs - moving spanners, taking spare nuts away, etc.....
Merlin is bored with me typing now, so - gotta go rub his tummy!

Oh, what a great topic! I really enjoyed reading about you all! You sound like such nice people!
I'm Ioana (I know it's hard to pronounce so you can just call me Jo - Ioana is the romanian version of Joanna), I'm soon to be 25, married and live in a (very) small town in Romania (near the Ukranian border). We have a 5 y/o moggie and it took me 20 minutes to convince my husband to get him (that was like 4 1/2 years ago) and another 5 years to convince him to get a second cat and we decided on a Bengal, we're picking her up at the end of the month.
I work at my parents business, mostly do accounting. On the side I have my own small business selling cosmetics.
I'm a beauty junkie, I love anything make-up or skincare related and I tend to obsess about things (atm it's cat nutrition ).
I love doing research, but only for myself and when I want to, I'm really bad when it comes to doing something because I have to (like for school, thank God I'm done with that).
We just started building a house, very excited about that!
Love watching tv shows and movies, reading (I enjoy fantasy and SF a LOT) and playing video games

Hi all, Im Sandy .

I live in Kettering,Northants. I'm 44 and live with my partner Clive and son Ethan (who's 9 going on 19 lol). I work part time as a core technician.(make radiator cores for vintage cars) not very girlie job. I've had cats all my life,and have always wanted to have a go at showing them.At the moment i have an Ocicat called speedy. He's 4 and is such a mummy's boy. Unfortunatly speedy was hit by a car when he was 2 and broke his leg. But to look at him now you wouldnt know. Since then i decided to keep my cats as house cat. They have access to an outside run via the conservatory.
Ive also got 2 kittens that are 14 weeks old, called scratchy and itchy. Their brother and sister. Itchy is my sons and he really likes the idea of taking her to a show .
I fell In love with bengals as my partner had one,unfortunately is no longer with us.
So Im getting a beautiful blue eyed snow spotted Bengal,she is only 5 weeks at the moment.her name is Ice and will be joining our family in august. I hope to start showing when she's old enough.
I've read that it is a good idea to get a mentor to help and advise you about showing. Any ideas where I could find one?
I've read the post about showing on the site,and found them very helpfully. But nothing beats A supportive friend to advise you.

Thank you for reading my essay

Sandy
