I brought in a Bengal kitten with a 2 yr old Persian cat. What did I get? A misbehaving Persian cat!
I clip both cats' claws weekly, just to make sure they don't hurt each other. I did put on soft paws, but Liz & Zofia chewed them off. Easier to put aluminum foil where I don't want them & have a water spray bottle handy.
TWO feeding zones, for wet food, for breakfast.
OH - MOST IMPORTANT: BOLT all shelves, display cabinets to the walls!! Not because your Bengal will sleep on the shelves. But because they LOVE to run across the tops, pounce from above! Now my Persian thinks it's funny to stare from up there.
DO put all your collectibles into display cabinets - or be prepared to suddenly lose grandma's vase, because a kitten accidentally slips, grabs the cloth on top of your chest of drawers in the bedroom - then keeps grabbing it, until she runs out - in mid-air, like a Sylvester cartoon!
Fifth year with Liz...she & I survived. Zofia thinks she's her best pal. Just haven't stopped Liz from climbing drapes...lots of holey drapes, I stitch up.
I'm sure that those on here from the beginning can tell you: it's hit or miss. But when it works, it works!
