- oh how this brings back memories from 17 years ago!
Hi everyone,
this is my first post I haven't introduced myself yet - new Bengal owner to be - will do so soon on the introduction thread - but I relate to this thread so much that I laughed hard and just had to post....
We were privileged to have had a Havana Brown named "Q" for 17 years. In his younger days, he displayed alot of the traits mention in this thread. We were tearing our hair out to begin with. We tried everything and ultimately have ONE piece of advice - accept
Eventually we were able to keep him off food preparation surfaces (most of the time) and he had his bench area he could watch from. But where safety of the household was concerned, he would ignore all rules and twice he HOWLED blue murder during the day to warn me that I had left an unlit gas hob burner running. And he was sitting right next to it to point it out to me. What a little trooper.
We have a Bengal coming soon, and we fully expect to have the same if not more level of defiance that our "Q" had.
And it's just that - a cat with so much character is what we so love and want........
please remind me of this if I later post frustration about my new Bengal when I bring him home.....ha ha.
