Aww, such a great picture. I wish my Bengal would be more affectionate. His previous owner was a male who allowed the cat to roam wild, so I don't think the was used to having any type of affection given to him. I've had him for 6 months and he does love to head butt me when I get home from work -- but I think he just wants food! LOL And he will walk all over me in the middle of the night to wake me up. He does sleep at my feet at night. Then again, I guess if I really wanted an affectionate kitty, I could have adopted one. My Bengal has so many great qualities -- sweet as can be. Has never scratched (except by accident) or bitten me. I do recall early on he did get in my lap twice -- but wasn't there for very long. I am so happy your Lily has come around. I'm jealous!

Aw! She looks like she is smiling!

And I am totally jealous that she is good with her claws when kicking! My girl is nothing but claws!
