Thanks to all for the responses! I guess I'm at fault for not vetting the breeder! I don't know why she lets the kittens go at nearly 8 weeks, now I'm worried my kitty will be maladjusted
I googled "Cats that don't shed" and for some reason multiple sites claim Bengals shed very little because they don't have a coat of dander. One site or video (watched so many I can't discern) did disclaim that Bengals were hypo-allergenic, as some also claim. My wife and I do give her a lot of attention, however, we are out of the house 9 hours a day at work. The kitty seems to be very happy and affectionate.
I don't think the breeder sells show quality cats. Full disclosure, she sells them for $550 USD. She said if we wanted a Bengal with dark rosettes, expect to pay into the thousands. I have to tell you, I thought I researched this breed pretty well, apparently not! The breeder did give me paper work with kitty including the application for TICA registration which includes the lineage. Also a contract that I have her spayed within 6 months. I did see the parents, the father is silver with dark grey spots and the mother is light tan with cinnamon spots. They looked healthy and attentive. The breeder has three sets of parents she breeds. Our kitty was in her house with 7 other kittens (from 2 separate litters). The breeder had the kitten vet report done the day before we picked her up. The report had heart murmur circled and she has a slight discharge from her left eye. The breeder told me she would grow out of the heart murmur and passed along the eye drops from the vet. I took kitty to my vet the day after we acquired her. My vet said the breeder should never have said that the kitten "would grow out of the murmur". Although he didn't do an echo test, he did spend about 5 minutes listening to her heart. He did not hear a murmur, and said sometimes things like a fever could sound like a murmur. The breeder should have let me know before we drove 3 hours to pick up the kitty, so I'm upset with that, but the bottom line is as my wife said on the way home, "It is what it is, and we will love her dearly for as long as she lives". Kitty's eye no longer has a discharge and is very clear. Doc said to keep up with the drops for 12 days, which I will do. Our vet said she is healthy and normal except for the minor eye infection.
My wife is going to be very upset (with me, not kitty) if Lucy turns out to be a heavy shedder like our last cat- a true shed beast! All I can do is show her the websites with the spurious claims.
We only let Lucy in our living room and adjoining kitchen so far. We have a very large cat tree, which to a pound and a half kitty must look like the stairway to heaven! She drinks from our cat fountain and eats and uses the litter box routinely, BM about twice a day.
Again, thank you for all your help!
