The Bengals!

I set up a little photo shoot with the cats over the weekend, it's been a while since I took any photos and they have grown such a lot!

Here's Shady the baby, he is such a laid back boy but also very playful and loves a game of fetch. 

 

Here's Solace, the man of the house, you can tell that from his first photo below!  He loves a good play, he isn't a lap cat but he does love a good back rub!

 

Tweed, she is the one who has a great grandad who is an asian leopard cat.  Tweed is the purriest out of all of them, she is very much attached to me and will sit on my lap all night long.  She is such a sweet, gentle little soul.

 

And Spec, Spec is such a funny cat, she really does make us laugh.  She isn't a lap cat either but she does love a nice gentle chin scratch, she loves her routine and her Da Bird toy.  She has a lovely kind temperament and I have never once heard her growl at the other cats.

Our Bengals

I did a little photo shoot with the felines the other day and thought I would show them off.

Here is our beautiful blue eyed snow from Sumarum in Czech Republic, this is Spectrum (aka Spec).  She is almost a year old and genetically clear from PRA and PKD, she is from generations of heart tested cats and am keeping my fingers crossed her heart test will be clear too.  She has such beautiful deep blue eyes and loves to run around with her 'Da Bird' feather, she is the loon of the lot!

Here is Solace (Solly) from Spice's breeder, he is PRA and PKD genetically free.  We had intended to have another girl but when we saw the litter we were just so taken with Solly we couldn't resist him.  His markings are getting nice and dark, not massive rosettes but they are some small rosettes.  He has a lovely quality coat and his tail is wonderful and short and fat.

And here is my little Tweed! Tweed's great great grandad is an Asian Leopard Cat (Sarez Little L).  This might sound a little scary but she is the friendliest cat I have ever known and I have owned lots of cats over the years.  She is the purriest little thing and loves nothing more than a good cuddle.  We had gone out to buy a nice brown rosetted bengal but I saw her photo and fell for her wild looks with her big nocturnal eyes.  Her pattern isn't great and I hope to improve on this with a good boy.  She is such a superstar though, nothing bothers her, she walked into our house at 13 weeks old like she owned the place.

And finally our original, here is the beautiful Spice who is a spayed pet and will always hold a very special part in our hearts.

Bengal Kittens?

So I took some photos of Spice our bengal cat today. She has been away for almost 2 weeks with a stud cat.  I am so pleased to have her back, can't believe how much we have all missed her and how quiet the house has been without her!

I can't believe how much it bothered me - sending to stud. I just felt so guilty for abandoning her somewhere she didn't know with a random cat. The two weeks she was gone I felt like I had a huge weight on my shoulders and as soon as she was back it lifted.  So basically we are looking for a nice active male we can use for ourselves and not have to send her away.  I am just hoping she has caught as I don't think I can cope with another 2 weeks without her!

Sad I know but she is a massive part of the family and always under your feet getting into mischief - am totally besotted with the breed and will never be without one!

I have set up my Facebook page and website, prefix is TICA reg. Spice is dual reg and so is dad so kittens will be gccf & TICA registered.
