“Our guy has completely bengalized the house and us, Remington rules. Loves our laps, bed and gives kisses. My wife and I agree we couldn't have gotten a cat to closer match then this guy. All due to you.”

I just wanted to touch base with you about Gryffyn.  We agreed that I would take Gryffyn on a trial basis to see how he would bond with Atari (my Bengal cat).  So far Gryffyn is adjusting to my bedroom and getting more comfortable with his surroundings.  I will follow your suggestions (on how/when to introduce the cats), and hopefully we'll see some success between the two cats.  …

 

“Gryffyn has been doing really well with Atari.  I'm very happy how they play together and he seems to be getting very comfortable, which is great to see.  Once in a while he gets a little too aggressive with Atari, but I really think that's just the Bengal attitude because she never seems to back down or get upset about it.  Anyway, they seem to clean each other a lot, which is a great sign and he gives her lot's of attention (although, sometimes she has enough of it :)).  Overall, thanks to both of you for your help, and I'm happy with how things have progressed and just wanted to pass that along.  Also, his eyes have been much better using the vets vitamin gel (which cost about the same as the people vitamins), but I do have to wipe out his eye everyday, but I'm happy to do it to see those pretty green eyes ;)  Well, that's it for now...I hope you are doing both well…”

“I am a foster mom in Madison, Ohio. My first foster was 3 Bengals at the same time, Roadie-Marble, Esther-Brown Spotted an June Bug-Brown Spotted. Roadie was adopted only after being with us for only a few weeks. He was king of the house. June Bug an Esther have just adopted us ....yes, we got the Bengal fever ! Beware fosters...it will get you to ! The girls as we refer to them as are just amazing in how they take care (bathe) each other, call, talk, sleep & play. There was no way we could let them be separated from each other or our hearts. June Bug has really blossomed...her favorite spot is our armpit, yes armpit! She nuzzles her nose in your pit, scratches your clothes an skin underneath as to fluff it up, then looks you in the eye, then lays next to you an your lightly scratched arm falling into a light snore that sounds more like a wheeze.  An who said deodorant was an attractant? “

Bella

owned by  Lisa

Adopted March 2008

“I saw the new web page!!!  I am telling people about your site.  My neighbors all think that Bella is beautiful.  She is doing great.  She loves sleeping in bed with me and my german shepherd dog “Deuce”.  This morning she finally ate food with the other two cats.  I was not sure that was going to ever happen, but Bella and my other female cat “Cookie” finally got things straightened out between them.

 

 So for now, all is well.  I allowed her to play in the bathtub last night.  She loved the water.  I hope to see her in your success stories.  We are so lucky to have her.”

Sienna

owned by  Adrian

Adopted March 2007

 

Sienna is doing wonderful.  She is a great kitty!  We have 3-4 long petting sessions a day now!  She absolutely loves to be petted now!  She sticks her neck and butt out to be scratched and buries herself into you.  She is a big baby.  She still hasn't really explored the home as she keeps running back in her room and hides under the couch everytime something startles her, but she has improved a hundred fold since the first day I brought her home.  She even tolerates other people.  When I have guests over, she comes out and lays down near us and just meows away.  She's very vocal, which I love.  She's definately a Bengal as I have more water on my floor than she has in her bowl!  I think she's still 2-3 weeks away from completely taking over the house, but it really has been like night and day with her.  I'm overjoyed with how well she's adjusted and I know I have a friend for life now”
