Please accept my sympathy on the loss of Zeppelin. You never know when perils will strike at our babies. I know most people don't think twice about letting their cats outside. I had a cat go missing last year and I never have found out what happened to him. Now I have Raiden the bengal and he is not allowed outside unless on a leash and he has a great outdoor enclosure. He used to be allowed to roam free with his previous owner, but he loved to instigate cat fights and he was usually on the losing end. It's not worth risking his life. I love him too much. Hopefully, you'll find a happy medium with your new babies. It's heartbreaking when one loses a pet. Your babies are just beautiful!

Sorry for your loss. I know how it feels. Three years later and I really am not nearly "over" the loss of my last cat that passed away (after 17 years). Presumably the new bengals will be indoor kitties? My family lost enough cats like your Zeppelin when I was a kid to learn that painful lesson loud and clear. None of the cats that I've had as an adult have been left out unsupervised or in a situation where they could roam the neighborhood freely.

Yeah they will be indoor and harness only.. gonna train them young if possible. I'll always regret not doing it with Zep, he was the best friend.

I'm so sorry about Zepplin, he sounded amazing.

Congrats on your new kittens, they look like they have settled in very well with Tokyo.
