I got my Bengal kitten 1 week ago today. We named her Dominion, after the highest order of angels of the second choir:
<!--QuoteBegin-The Celestial Hierarchy by Dionysius the Areopagite+--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE (The Celestial Hierarchy by Dionysius the Areopagite)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->The name given to the holy Dominions signifies, I think, a certain unbounded elevation to that which is above, freedom from all that is of the earth, and from all inward inclination to the bondage of discord, a liberal superiority to harsh tyranny, an exemptness from degrading servility and from all that is low: for they are untouched by any inconsistency. They are true Lords, perpetually aspiring to true lordship, and to the Source of lordship, and they providentially fashion themselves and those below them, as far as possible, into the likeness of true lordship. They do not turn towards vain shadows, but wholly give themselves to that true Authority, forever one with the Godlike Source of lordship.[/quote]
It's been a hell of a week, since for most of it we have had to keep Pixie and Dominion seperated, and its a lot of work to make sure that a super high energy and inquisitive kitten that hates being confined stays properly entertained and loved when restricted to a single room. On top of that, keeping Pixie from becoming too upset about the invader and encouraging her to accept it means paying at least as much attention to her. We've barely been able to do anything non-cat related all week. :rolleyes:
Fortunately, this weekend we have been able to let them mingle freely when we are around to supervise. And for the first couple of days, it was very close supervision.
Here are some pictures:

Here my wife was trying to teach the kitten to use linux.
Off mode again. They're just so much easier to photograph like this. :rolleyes:
I can't figure this pose out. I've seen her do it a couple of times, and it doesn't seem to cause her any discomfort...
