    Cat changed after vet visit

    Hi all 3 days ago we had to take our one year old (indoor) Bengal to the vets as she has had a bad stomach. She was completely herself before the vet visit but we decided to take her on the safe side. Getting her there was traumatic, she was screaming, clawing us and wouldn't get in the...

    Bengal intros going backwards - scared kitten and intimidating cat

    Thank you for your reply! Ah, I am biased too! Haha, but they sure are a handful. The boy plays very rough for sure... the girl less so. Bless her. Have you had bengal intros before? How did they go?

    Haha, they are certainly brats! T especially. When I'm in the room I can see him about to test his luck, luckily he is learning. With building her confidence is that through play, height and love as you suggested? She definitely gets tonnes of love and places to escape. We play with her a lot...

    Bengal intros going backwards - scared kitten and intimidating cat

    Hi! Sorry for the radio silence. I wanted to give it a few weeks to see how they get on. Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful reply. Honestly the reassurance means a lot to me! So we have been getting a bit better. In lockdown obviously I have a lot of time to be around / play...

    Bengal intros going backwards - scared kitten and intimidating cat

    Hey, just thought I’d give you a update on how things have been going. I’d say they were pretty much the same. I have been playing with T with new toys but they have a very short shelf life. The most engaged he is in play is when I hide the toys under a blanket, but even then he’s not really...

    Another great reply, thank you so much! That's a great shout about the stuffed toy, I'm going to try that! Like I said it's hard to engage T with play but I will try. Also, I haven't mentioned this yet but T was the only kitten of his litter, so I do wonder if maybe he wasn't socialised enough...

    Bengal intros going backwards - scared kitten and intimidating cat

    Thank you for this. I am naturally an anxious person so it's hard for me... I just want them to be happy! But I'm trying my very best to be calmer with them :) Yes, I have noticed she seems to meow for mummy (me) to help her now! I am concerned about this, because I want her to stand her ground...

    Bengal intros going backwards - scared kitten and intimidating cat

    Thank you for this thoughtful and thorough reply!! Bengals are unlike any cat I have come across. I grew up with animals and honestly they are crazy! They never sleep. But they are also so loveable, intelligent and never leave my side. I love them (but boy are they hard work!) Okay that's...

    Thank you for this! You're awesome. Yes, the scent thing doesn't seem an issue at all. Sometimes they will happily have a sniff of each other and nose touch. I have to say T loves getting his nose RIGHT IN her backside, which she doesn't particularly enjoy!! So she when she hides and jumps...
