I wouldn't count on it!  Mosi will be 2 in a couple of weeks time.  I had been under the illusion that cats matured a bit by that age, but not Mosi!  He's still as crazy as ever and shows no signs of slowing down.

LOL Susanne, what would those benglies have done without such generosity  :evillaugh:

They are stunning, but most of all its the personality that does it for me, they are such naughty kids wonder what adulthood will be like  :rofl:  They boys will be 2 early next year  :Luv:  They will have truly matured (or NOT LOL)

so good of you to open up your home to them under those circumstances!

I must admit, they are even more special in the fur than in pics.

Can't - they are a banned breed in australia (well, the first few generations from the wild-cat outcross are at least) and since I am only on a work permit and could get shipped back to the colonies if the authorities decide not to renew it, I have to stick to the rules as if I was still there. At least here I get to meet them occasionally  :Luv:

Two out of my 8 cats are bengals, Ruby 8 month Inka 5 1/2 month. Both have huge amounts of energy but I have to say that Ruby has the most energy, as if she is high on e numbers. I only need to blink & she is into something, then something else, all the toys are 'hers' & has her secret stash of them. Last week I left a large baked wrapped egg custard on the worktop & when I went into the kitchen she was demolishing it all. They have quite moments but then its all action again.

The pic is of them emptying the shopping as always

they are fantastic and I love the energy, Tilly keeps me on my toes but when she wants a cuddle she knows where to come I can honestly say I hope I'll never be without one although I intend never to pay a breeder for another cat and hope to be able to take rescue bengals in future

I have totally fallen in love with the Bengal breed, I've always thought they were stunning but when you meet them in the flesh  :wow:  One of my own cats Cleo, the vets have always thought she had Siamese in her but I'm now convinced it's Bengal, she's always been very talkative and hypo and is just an absolute nutcase.  After spending time with 2 young bengals, there is not a lot of difference between her and them.

I met two on my birthday, and they are wonderful to stroke. Wouldnt want to live with their energy levels though, I prefer the evening i have just had - an oldie content to just sit on my knee while I watched Corrie (although he did then have a 10 min play!!)

yes, personally I worry about how the cat would react if you accidentally met a dog or other animal that was aggressive. This one seemed quite used to being on a leash, but I have to say he did not seem too happy about being in the middle of London ...

I have known a couple of Bengals and I must say their furs are extremely striking.  So striking to the point I get a bit worried for them that some  :censored: may decide to make a coat out of them!! :Crazy:

I often fancy it would be so nice if I could go out for a walk with Oliver on a lead, but realistically speaking, prospect of him ever getting used to and accept to have a controlling leash attached on him is highly unlikely... :shocked:

Our immediate neighbours have two bengals.  They are lovely indeed  ;D

The benglies, that is - although our neighbours are OK too  :rofl:

Met my first bengal!!

Met my first Bengal today!! :Luv: :Luv: He was gorgeous. I wandered out of the office this afternoon and noticed a woman with a striking fur collar to her coat. Then it moved  :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:

He was only 6 months old and on a leash being walked around town like a dog (when he was not keeping his mother's neck warm).

I think I am in love  :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
