Hello all,
My name is Alan, and I'm the very proud owner of two beautiful Bengals.
My first Bengal is Sampson, a six year old (neutered) male. He's his daddy's boy, and I'm very close to him. I never got the papers on him (and don't really care) but I think is he from New Hampshire area. I bought him near Memphis, from a breeder named Karen Reed (house of many cats). Don't know her whereabouts anymore, but would like to say hi sometime.
Our newest addition is Mia, now 9 months old, spayed 3 months ago. She is from Kajari Bengals
www.kajari.com . She has an amazing personality, and is already a deep rooted member of our family. She plays fetch with more intensity than any other cat I've seen (had 3 fetchers, including Sam). She wins hands down.
My question is this: Sam and Mia don't always get along. When the kitten gets to close to Sam, he growls a lot and rarely gets mad enough to hiss, and there is the regular swatting. If he knows she is close, he will growl, even from lap while simultaneously purring!
Will age mellow this power struggle?
Thanks in advance, I'm glad I found this forum!
Alan
ps: As any thread is "worthless without pics"
here's Sam and Mia having a little "jungle moment" out by my pool.
