Hi! I've been reading for a few weeks now, but as I will be a proud bengal owner in 3 and a half weeks I thought now was the time to join.
My husband and I have been thinking about getting cats for a while as we're about to move in to a bigger house, and then about a month ago I discovered the bengal breed and fell totally in love! Ever since I have been reading absolutely everthing I can find on them - books, forums, blogs.... and I just can't wait! I imagine owning a bengal can be much like owning a furry tornado and I'm so excited
So at the weekend we went to see a lovely breeder, and we picked out our beautiful bengal boy. He is a brown spotted bengal and is so friendly - he just sauntered across the room away from his brother and sisters, jumped on my lap - attacked the tassles on my pashmina for a little bit, and then tucked himself under my arm and fell fast asleep
He'll be coming to live with us when he's 12 weeks old. He's going to be called Artemis - or Arty for short.
And his mummy is coming to live with us too! At 3 1/2 it's time for her to retire so she's off to be spayed and will come along with her kitten. She is a stunning AOC snow marble and a very sweet girl.
What have we let ourselves in for?! I'm sure I'll be turning to all you lovely people for your words of wisdom!
