Hi everyone
I too have been spying on this forum ever since my boyfriend put a deposit down on a bengal for my birthday!
To be honest, I wasn't really aware of these beautiful animals until he sent me a picture, but I absolutely cannot wait. He will be here in 9 days, I've already been waiting for 5 weeks, and it feels like a lifetime!
When I get him, I will put some pics up, I've called him Simba, and just noticed there is another Simba on this site.. so hello!
The girl I live with already has a 3 year old moggie, so we've been reading all about introducing them and tips and advice, but I am still deliberating whether or not to allow him outside though. I have read the many threads of others facing the same dilema, but still cant decide!
Her cat is out most of the time, so I wouldnt want Simba getting jealous. But I live on a street with a lot of parked cars, although no one really passes through, if you're driving down my road, its pretty much because you live there. Also, there is a slightly strange woman down the road, who puts food out for all the cats, don't get me wrong, this is sweet, but she does it daily, and I wanted to have control over my cats diet. However, she would get really upset if I said anything to her...
Any comments would be welcomed!
