Ive not posted here in a while but I was just sitting with Spider and Maasai and they were both being just so sweet! I had this wave of love for them and you are the only guys who would understand.....bengals for life! haha x

I can definitely relate. My heart is filled with love when I look at my furry babies.

They can be really, frustratingly challenging sometimes, but they have been so lovely the last coupla days! Im jinxing myself by saying it Im sure, but they are just being so damn adorable! Long may it continue!

I agree with the "challenging" part, but when Raiden comes over to me and cries and then lays down and rolls over on his back and exposes his belly to me for tummy tickles, it just warms my heart. I love my little guy with all my heart, except when he is yowling to go on our walks and I need another 10 minutes before I can get him out on his harness and leash.

Ada got me last night - the standard Night Nights Time game of "silly human can't catch me!" and in the middle of it she went over on her side for tummy rubs.

Twice.

She's a gorgeous little beast.

They are always up to something! I always say every day is like being in the circus! They can certainly be a challenge sometimes, but they are certainly never boring! I love them to pieces and they have enriched my life. They are so smart and so affectionate (when they want!)

I wouldn't trade my Two Accomplices for anything!!!!!

Are bengals the only cats who don't mind their tummies being rubbed -- and actually INSIST on tummy tickles? I've had cats for most of my life and every single one of them decided to attack my hand after 5 seconds, even the outdoor cat I have now will go after my hand almost immediately -- and HE's the one who rolled over on his back to me. You just can't help it. Their bellies are so inviting.

Spider loves a belly rub....Maasai will ask for it then attack! I think that's just cats Sherry.....unpredictable little beasts with razor blades on their feet!

As an update....still not a peep of trouble. They are either maturing or planning something huge

Raiden has NEVER EVER scratched me while petting his tummy. He can't get enough of the tummy tickles. He can be sleeping and if you pet him, he will spread his legs.

Oh gads, I can only imagine what two bengals could be plotting .... you'd best be on your toes. It could be HUGE.

No tummy tickles for Miko haha - he's a wild beast :D

But yeah, I'd say definitely a challenge. There's always something new that he's found his way into but I always loved his natural curiosity, and my mum has grown to love it as well. Miko is so intelligent and I feel as though I am starting to really understand and differentiate what he wants, depending on the different sounds he makes. Sometimes, I feel like I'm even having a conversation with him. Am I crazy?

If you are, you are in good company here.

100% "get it" just when Diesel is being a terror running off with things or knocking things off the counter I'll pick him up and he'll go all soft and start purring and I can't be mad.

We've got a moggie who LOVES to have her belly rubbed. As soon as you walk up to her she rolls over and starts purring.

My friend always laughed at me because I am a "crazy cat lady" till she met Xerxes. Now she totally gets it!
She cant get over how much more beautiful he is in person and how gentle he is with her 3 year old little girl.

Yesterday he did his first naughty job. He pushed a flower pot full off dirt and plants off my table that I turned my back to get a pitcher of water. He took off running for my bedroom (also his safe room). I stayed calm thinking here we go! He peeped his head out in the kitchen just as I was finishing the sweeping like it was the dogs fault and he knew nothing about it! Good thing he is so cute and lovable!
