Hello! My kitty, Dylan, has been a part of our family since January. He has brought so much laughter and awe to our home. He is also quite the instigator and mischief maker. My husband brought him home after finding him as a healthy stray near my sister's home. I wasn't expecting any new pets becaus I already had a small zoo - Ashley, a 16yr old calico; Misty, a 10yr cream calico; Jake, a 60lb shiba inu mix; and the new Christmas puppy - a terrier and maltipoo mix, Fynn. Now I had a 3rd cat and it soon felt like I had 10!
Dylan has a beautiful, marbled, and incredibly soft coat. I love that because I have cat allergies and his coat doesn't bother me at all - whereas my cat Misty sends me sneezing for an hour after snuggles. All of his feet have dark black pads. The racing stripes that go down his back are beautiful and he has gold eyes that are seriously reflective. Dylan has, what I call, a puma face - or that of a mountain lion. The "m" and spots on his tummy just round out his beauty, beautifully.
Dylan has made brushing my teeth near impossible in the mornings; he goes into a battle royale of sorts with Misty (my older kitty passed away in March); he plays and rough houses with the dogs; the cat can seriously jump and loves to climb stuff - even my WALLS! You can't eat anything without him being all up in your face. He talks sooooo much with all the chirps, yowls, meows, rumbles, and huffs. All of his sounds are for something different. Dylan is INSANELY intelligent, too. He will figure out any possible way to climb as high as he can so that he can look down on us. He also learned to flush a toilet just so he could watch it swirl around.
One thing is, I don't know if Dylan is truly a Bengal or not. Everything I have read fits him so perfectly but I have doubts because we got him as a stray. My husband speculates that he was "dumped" because he can truly be a handful (a nickname of his is "Demon"). I would really like to find out if he is. I know he isn't pedigree standard - he has too many "oopsies" like a kink in the tip of his tail.
There is so much about him that screams Bengal but I'm just not sure....
