What a beautiful little kitty. Congratulations! I think the hard part will be the introduction of this kitten to your other kitty. You'll need to keep the new kitten in a safe room for a little while, with litter box. You'll feed him there, have beds in there. You'll play with him in the room. Swap out scents -- blankets usually, so the other cat can get the smell of the other kitty. Know that the new kitten will be entering a brand new environment with new smells, new people and just finding his way around the house will be a challenge for such a tiny little thing.

Yes, cat trees are a must for a bengal and your other kitty may enjoy them as well. I have three (of varying heights) for my one bengal. Three litter boxes are a must as well. If you have levels in your house, one on each level. With kittens, they may not be able to hold their urine or waste to run a long distance to use the litter box, so make it easy on the kitty.

Diet -- you'll want to continue feeding what the breeder has been feeding the cats. If you want to change to a raw diet, you'll have to slowly introduce that diet to the cat or you'll risk the upset stomach and vomiting syndrome.

Introducing the cats -- I'd be holding the kitten and letting your other kitty come for a sniff. Do not leave your two kitties together without supervision until you are certain they can get along. You can feed them in the same area (not right next to each other). Engage them both in play with toys. You want to make the food and toys the main attraction and not the other kitty.

I have seen cats that are introduced immediately and are snuggled up that first night. It's not always the case. You've had a cat who has claimed the home as its territory and now another creature has come along and is entering that territory. Make sure both of your cats have their own space and area. Catify your home and they should get along just fine. Best of luck.

Thank you for the advice guys! After reading them, I have already mapped out a great catification plan for my home. I have the perfect spot for some shelf stairs going up a half wall that is in the center of the apartment (its a two bedroom loft). This will give them something to climb and a long ledge to walk across. Also, I will be sure to get three litter boxes and a cat tree! As for the diet, I will be sure to keep to the same diet the breeder sends him home with.

=^..^=

I agree with the others. Cat trees are a must with bengals as well as interactive toys. I would strongly suggest Da Bird made by go cats as well as neko flies. If you get the neko flies I wouldn't worry about getting one of their rods because they suck lol. The attachments are really nice and work great with da bird rods. Ebay is great for cat trees and they are very affordable on there. When looking for one make sure it has a wide base. I made the mistake in the beginning and bought a tall slider one. It was fine for BB when she was a kitten but once she got to be 10+ pounds it was dangerous.
Like recommended before make sure you keep him on the same diet as she has him on. If you would like to change it (most people do) do so gradually and after he has been home for a few weeks. I feed mine wet food twice a day and free feed dry. They are both on Innova Evo turkey and chicken dry and a variety of wet foods. Their favorite is earthbound holistic and wellness core. But like all cats yours will be different so it may take you awhile to find some he goes crazy for. I would try to find several over a period of time that he likes because they are known to suddenly hate their once favorite food.
Introducing them should be done as slow as possible. Use your own judgement to see when you think they will be ready. Don't expect them to be comfortable with each other for some time.
Regarding names: I try to find something that means a lot to me at the time. If it's a movie, tv show, a piece of art. Whatever it may be. Mochi is named from a Disney movie and so is BB. Well she was supposed to be and got stuck with BB :wink: since his name is Graphic Night you could try to find something that goes with that. You still have some time to come up with names. Do you have any picked out yet?

Hey! thanks for the advice. I have Da bird and my kitty loves it. I would love to find a neko fly, but dont know where to find one for an affordable price. As far as names goes I dont know what I should name him, but am sure I will figure something out. My 1 yr old kitty is named Roman so something that compliments that would be nice.

What do you guys think about Louie?

I have a Louie Vitton wallet that is literally the same color as him and he is a designer cat. But not sure if this is too cliche.
