Oh, RED --- He is AMAZING !!!
I know a lot of people are really "hooked" on the rufous (bronze or peanut butter color with red tones) But I think the bengal kittens with the "cooler backgrounds" grow up and keep the HIGH contrast. He is absolutely breath-taking... No WONDER you can't stop looking at him!!!
Don't fret too much, about a name -- you will find yourself having "nicknames" for him according to his personality, anyway -- I know my son keeps hanging "nicknames" on Dagger, then I end up using them, too, because they FIT his crazy personality, so well!
(Right now, Dagger is "Scooby Cat" - like cartoon character, Scooby Doo -- because he so often gets his body moving FASTER than he can pay attention, and ends up looking horribly clumsy!) And even WORSE -- Emma has earned "Scrappy too" because she growls and "talks" when she eats, if anyone gets close.
As I'm sitting here, munching on some Chex Mix -- I had to give BOTH of them a couple of pieces, so they would stop getting between me and my computer screen, "scavanging" for whatever I was eating... and the little rascals ATE them!!!
Back to your little guy -- it's nice that you sent one photo on the little furry rug, then another in sunlight... it really allows us to SEE his wonderful contrast! Plus I just LOVE that wild little dark nose
*my personal favorite of the two photos is the one on the rug. (smile)
My Gosh -- What a CUTIE !!
Thanks for getting photos up, so quickly
Don't worry about the Purina Kitten chow, I'm sure it won't KILL him. I know one breeder who gives his cats nothing but Purina Products... I personally like to use the high end products, but I read labels, and make sure the MEAT products are the FIRST ingredient.
I've tried EVERYTHING, and they really won't eat a LOT of dry food. Usually ONLY when they get really HUNGRY when I'm not home to feed them something more interesting, will they eat any dry food... but just LET me try to eat a turkey or chicken sandwich... or roast pork, or beef -- and I do good to get A bite, till they are full !! I caught Dagger licking the mayo from my bread, the other day, when I turned around from getting the sandwich meat from the fridge!!! (grin)
Enjoy the "still" moments, while you can... Right NOW, Dagger is BACK on my desk, pacing OVER my hands, as I TRY to type. (They are READY for Mommy to play -- they got SO spoiled while I was off for 4 days.)
Congratulations... he's really a BEAUTY !!!
