Hello x
Thank you for allowing me to join your site.
I am new to the wonderful world of Bengals, but have loved them for a long time. My wonderful boyfriend Jules bought me a silver boy for my 40th birthday pressie (he is an early pressie as my birthday is September!) Teoh arrived on friday 18th of May at 13 weeks old. He is an absolute joy and full of character. He is by my side as I type!
I am so lucky as once had anaphylactic shock from touching a cat and thought I would never be able to be around a cat again. We read that Bengals were good for allergies, we thought about it for a year or two and then went to the breeders armed with anti-hystamines, a very concerned boyfriend ready to drive me to hospital and thank goodness all was well, have had no reaction and we are now new parents to a stunning boy.
I wish to do everything right and to learn as much as I can on how to bring baby Teoh up. I hope he will be okay without a bengal friend. The breeder said he would be more 'human orientated' if we just bought the one, but since then have read they like being in pairs?
He is very loving and has his own bedroom here full of bengally toys, nice bed and basket and his own bathroom!
I am a little concerned as the breeder (who is lovely) told us to feed him on 'adult' felix catfood pouches with jelly. I noticed a kitten range whilst out shopping this weekend. Should he be eating this instead?
Also, he seems to play in his bowl of water and not drink it?
What should I do? I am worried as I have not seen him drink water yet. Bought him some kitten milk and he gulped that down and then kept going back to his bowl as if to say please may I have more.
Jules and I love him so much. I cannot believe we have ever been without our little baby
Sorry to ask so many questions
Thank you very much
