Hello all, my name is Mandi and my Bengal's name is Samson.

Samson is 3 yrs old and has me wrapped around his beautiful spotted paw! I originally found out about the breed shortly before I became Samson's human mom. I am an experienced cat owner and currently have 5 cats at home. (3 of them belong to my children, but they couldn't take them with them to college, etc.) I read an advertisement in the paper about Bengal kittens and I was not familiar with the breed. I did my research and immediately fell in love.

My husband surprised me one day with the picture of a very tiny litter of spotted bundles of joy and told me that I got the pick of the litter. That was the longest few months of my life!!! The breeder kept in contact with me and would send pictures of my handsome boy as he grew.

Samson is my companion and joy! I like to refer to him as my "Cog", since he behaves more like a dog than cat at times. We walk on a leash and he's very vocal about many things. Sometimes I think he just likes the sound of his own voice. He gets along great with our other cats, although he is definitely the man in charge. He doesn't really get along with one of my cats, but she is a bottle fed brat and doesn't really socialize with any of the other cats to begin with. I don't think she realizes she's a cat. LOL!

Here are a couple of pictures of Sam. Thank you for letting me be a part of the forum and I look forward to all the information available here and getting to know other Bengal enthusiasts!

Thank you Melissa! He is a handsome boy and he knows it! He loves to sleep on the laundry basket when it's full like that. I believe that's his "I'm trying to sleep and you have the camera out again?" face.

I bet he sleeps in the laundry basket to surround himself in your scent and put his with it. What better place could there be that smells of mummy all the time!
