No... I don't want one. I already have two beautiful brown
stripey-spotty girls at home.  These cute wittle bitties are too
stripey and too exotic for me.  Nope, I do not need a third cat, and I
don't have the budget for a purebred cat... Nope, nope nope...
unh-uh... No way one of those adorable little critters will come to
live with me...

Okay. I've failed to convince myself.  DId I convince anyone else???

Back to the mantra, then.
Nope,
No way
No how
No, I don't want one
They're not in the least bit cute..
Unh-uh....

They are very beautiful, aren't they?  One of my colleagues, Ursula, has a 3
year old marbled male called Aragon.  She showed me a photo of him the other
day - he is stunning and quite large, almost doesn't look like a domestic
cat.  I would do a double take if I saw him in my garden, thinking he'd
escaped from somewhere.
However he is very vocal and demanding apparently, raids the cupboards,
wakes them in the night just to have a conversation, opens doors and
generally drives them mad :-)
He was indoor only until recently.  She started to let him outside under
supervision as she suspected that confinement and boredom was his problem.
It seems it was.  He is much better behaved now, he goes out quite a lot,
not going too far fortunately, but it seems enough to occupy his mind and
tire him a bit.  The 2 a.m. conversations have become a thing of the past.
It was not that it was unsafe to let him out, the worry was that he might
get stolen as he has huge self-esteem and will go up to anyone in a friendly
manner.  I do have to say that he looks *very* valuable which might make him
vulnerable.

Yup, bengals are very inquisitive (even for cats) and I swear they have
opposable thumbs.

All bengal breeders seem to agree you should keep them inside.

To be fair to Ursula she *has* kept him inside for three years and spends
lots of quality time in the evenings and weekends playing with him and
trying to amuse him.   However he was still bored and developed very trying
behaviour because of it.
It was not without a lot of thought that she decided to let him outside.  It
was mainly because she believed that his behaviour showed he was unhappy
with being confined 24/7.
Up to now, he doesn't go far, parades around the garden threatening birds
and rodents, lounges on the patio being a tiger and watching everything.  It
seems to be enough to tire him and make him easy to live with.

I was stunned by how absolutely beautiful he was when she showed me his pic
on her mobile phone.  I must get her to send it to my computer and put it up
somewhere for all to see.   His name is lovely too, Aragon.

Must not look.  Must remind myself that Bengal's are exotics and can be hard
to care for.

Not working.

Remind myself they are at least as active as Burmese.

And Molly and Jake would not forgive me.

But they are soooooo cute.

They're beautiful!  The two-toned leopard spots on them are really
stunning.  And they still look like kitties.

They're so pretty that I have some misgivings about them.  I read that
the world record for the highest price paid for a cat was for a Bengal
cat, and that the person who paid for this cat also held the world
record for having the greatest number of cosmetic surgeries!

At least it is likely that whoever this is can afford to hire someone to
keep the cat cared for and entertained.

I finally have proof of what I've suspected all along.  Bengals do not cause
the allergic response that most cats do.  I am very allergic to cats but have
no problems with my Bengals.  I went to visit my sister this past week and
she has a long haired cat.  The poor guy had to be banished to the downstairs
while I was there because I immediately started sneezing.  But I cuddle my
Bengals all the time.
