Hi, I joined this site on 13th sep 2012 and wanted to intoduce myself. My name is Heather and I have been looking to this site for a long time for advice and so decided to join. You have all given some valuable advice which has helped me with my 4 1/2 month kitten Jango. He came to me at 6 weeks old from a friend who found him in her horse stable. He had wondered in just a few days old and they hand reared him. The farm near by is always producing kittens and the farmer will just drown them so my friend rescues them and finds good homes for them. Sad I know, I don't know why the farmer just doesn't get his female spayed?

Anyway after many comments about Jango from people about how active he was even for a kitten, how high he could jump for a young one and how super fast he was with pretty spotty tummy and wild looks I decided to try and research his markings and features and found that he was just like a brown marble bengal except for the bullseye mark. Three breeders looked at him and said he looked like he had bengal ancestry but not pure as his coat was not distinct enough. Other than this he follows all the traits. He certainly is amusing and really quite clever. He loves to jump onto my shoulders for a taxi ride while I do the housework, he drinks out of the running tap from his paw and he can already open my wardrobe door. really a cat with a fun personality. His hunting behaviour is remarkable to watch and the noises he can make are plentiful, varied and constant. I can sometimes have a coversataion it seems. Well I love him loads and he always makes me laugh. I look forward to being a part of this forum, all your cats are beauties I will try and upload some of my fella.

Welcome HeatherHev and Jango.

He looks like a sweet boy, and so lucky to have found a great home.

Hi and welcome

Hi, Jango is vey handsome! I am in a similar position myself. Noodles was found on a road side with a nasty facial injury and came to join us at about 7 weeks old. He's just over 1 now and Im waiting patiently for him to stop growing / slow down / stop eating every meal like its his last / stop destroying the house etc, etc,etc . We are a multicat household (all of whom are house cats) and I knew very early that Noods was different. It was a friend of mine who breads Bengals to told me in her opinion he has quite lot of Bengal in him, however with no papers etc its hard to be sure, but like you I just love him to bits whatever he is. This is a great site and everyone has been really welcoming, there's loads of really good information shared about cats in general. Enjoy!!

Thank you for the welcome and yes, this is a great site, everyone with all the time in the world to share advice.
