I read about your story, Rengar. Im so so very sorry you lost your bengal baby!!! How heart breaking!! :( Years ago, I had a teacup longhair chihuahua puppy die 48 hrs after bringing him home. His damn breeder advised it HAD to have been MY fault and wouldnt refund me or replace him. Theres a special place in hell for people who breed sick animals without regard.

Thankfully, Suri had a vet appointment the day after she came home and received a clean bill of health. Shes very active, (shes racing around right now!) eats well, no diarrhea or vomiting, etc. Shes definitely now 11 weeks, as her DOB was 7/1/15. (shes registered) She was the runt, and her brothers were much larger. Im sure they pushed her away from getting much to eat. Shes put on quite a bit of weight in the week Ive had her already. I can no longer feel her ribs, backbone or hips! Her next appt is Oct 12th!

Here are some more picts of Suri taken early this morning. Im TRYING to get a good shot of her markings...but photographing an active kitten is a nightmare! In the one of her back, you can see her "chipmunk stripes", as well as how balanced her markings are.

Thank you!! Shes a little sweetie. VERY snuggley, but also VERY playful.

I had ordered her a few cute collars and matching tags...one for everyday wear, one for Halloween, and a winter snowflake theme. Here's her new everyday bling! Of course, she hates it....too bad! (yes, all collars are kitty safety collars!!!)

WOW, what a stunner! She's still very tiny! But she's beautiful and she looks very happy!

Just a few more Suri picts. Ive come to the conclusion Im a bit (ahem...alot...) obsessed with her!

One pict is of her surveying her new scratch post...which she loves! Another is of her snuggling on my husband's shoulder last night while we watched TV. She was up there for at over 2 hours! (she fell asleep a few mins after I took the pict) The other is of Suri snuggling my hubby while he plays Xbox. Anyone who knows my hubby know hes not much of a cat person..but Suri REALLY likes him, and he REALLY likes her!

I just can't get over how tiny Suri is! She certainly is beautiful! And you have a handsome husband as well. She sure seems like a daddy's girl.

We have the Ultimate Cat Scratcher that you have. It seemed so huge when we first got Quasar but, we put it in his safe room, and the top of this post was where he chose to sleep.
Even as tiny as he was, he was able to get up on top of it and survey the "world" from this perch.

Your kitty is so adorable. Enjoy the baby stage. It moves on to perpetual toddler very quickly.

Amen to the perpetual toddler -- they reach the 3-year-old stage and pretty much stay there.

LOL.....And here I am hoping Suri will continue being the little angel shes been so far! Plays gently, little lap leopard, sleeps well, isnt destructive, isnt super noisy.....one can hope, right? ;)

You'll never know if Suri will continue as she has been as a kitten until you get there! Many adult bengals do remain snuggle bunnies. Keep Suri spoiled rotten and the center of attention and she may remain a kitten forever. LOL

Suri is an adorable kitten. Yes really tiny and cute but so was tiger when I first got him, his breeder did say he was going to be a really big boy when he grows up since he was the biggest in his litter and by the looks of his growth rate I don't doubt her. Btw thanks for the advice on pet food, I ended up getting the Blue Bufallo Freedom Indoor and he seems to like it a lot. Suri really has some amazing rosetted spots, very distinctive. She looks like a baby leopard lol.

Lol....shes small...but shes growing sooooo fast!!! Shes the little love of my life.

Youre very welcome!! Ive been very happy with the BB Freedom products. Youll likely see a drastic change in Tigers coat within a week. Suris softened up dramatically....and Im guessing its from good feed. Suri is really enjoying her foods now, so happy kitty = happy mama!

Lol.....she really does! To ME they look different than most other bengal babies, but I love that about her!

I'm sure this is a really stupid question, but why does an indoor cat need to wear a collar? They are absolutely adorable, but I must be missing the point! I have never put a collar on an indoor cat.
