Hello… I’m a new owner of a 1 year old female Bangle! I’ve wanted one for many years, and had an opportunity to get this one; which I got yesterday.
The previous owners got her as a kitten; brining her home to a house of 6 dogs, and one other cat. She struggled with the dogs, but the owners believed as she got older she would be fine. She wasn’t, and they acknowledged it. Current condition is she is on the thin side, and has thinner fur on the rump, with a few scabs. I’ve read that Bengal’s can get stressed out; cleaning, and cleaning themselves to the point of thinning fur and scabs??
I am completely new to the breed, but I’m a quick learner, and love educating myself. When I was in the process of deciding to get a parrot, I researched for about 6 months before getting one, and 3.5 years later we have perfectly bonded, so I think my new love will also be that way, with continued love and patience.
I was able to bring her home yesterday; taking her out of the carrier; showing her the litter box. We then left her in the bathroom for about an hour, as she huddled in the corner next to her kitty box. She did make surprising advances… she let me pet her, and she purred coming out of the corner to be loved on, while purring and kneading. After being in the bathroom for about an hour, I opened it up and let her come into my room; which she has been under my bed the whole time. I’m just worried she won’t use her litter box, and her not eating because of the transition, which in my eyes she can’t afford to miss a meal=(
I know I will probably have a bunch of questions, but wanted to introduce myself.=-)
