    Bengals - Personality and Gender

    We got a boy and a girl, but that was just by chance since we got them through rescue. They are not siblings, but fromt he same breeder and just a few weeks apart in age so are best friends. Our other cat is a 13 year old female (12 at the time we got the "Bs"). Anyway, like others have said...

    Tooth ripped out?

    Cool - I found one of Eliza's but lost it in one of our moves The straws are great. One of my adults is quite the chewer and she loves straws. I give the Bengals a new one every few days. It's amazing how much pleasure they get out of the simple thing

    I may just cry

    It's not a mistake (see her later entry) - it's the way their system works. Lots of companies are like this when you start a new job.

    Do they still refill litter containers?

    I paid $9.99 for refills this week on special. I think normal price is $11.99 for refills, but the normal price for the full tub (not refills) is about $13.99 here (not $20). Maybe prices vary by geography? Seems weird though, as I live in Seattle, very expensive area! KG

    Do they still refill litter containers?

    It's their own brand - used to be called Pet Gold and I believe they are changing it to Petco, but it's the same thing. The packaging has changed slightly too. But you can't get refills on anything but their own brand. You have to first purchase a new container filled with litter and then you...

    is my cat neurotic?

    I would definitely not rule out stress. I have a friend whose little kitty completely licked and chewed the fur off of here legs. She was very anxious, having come from a home where her litter mate and the family dog had turned on her. She still suffered from some of this stress after moving...

    prey drive stronger in some breeds?|

    That's true. According to the cougar experts at the Cougar Mountain Zoo, which is a small zoo near my home run by the Zoological Society of Washington, they are the strongest cat, pound for pound. They have two rescued cougars living there, who are both quite elderly by wildcat standards, and...

    Help with Bengals

    If you can, maybe you should get two kittens at the same time. I know that if I didn't get Lily and Rajah together, we would go crazy! And so would our older cat, Eliza. At least Lily & Rajah can play with each other when everyone else is worn out. Very high activity cats. And in our case...

    How I finally got my cats to stay Indoors, and LOVE it!

    Great idea. You know, it wouldn't be too difficult to screen off the narrow end of our deck and let them have access via a window. Our deck is huge, at about 600 square feet, so it's not like one end of it would even be missed!

    Face-patting cat!

    Oh, he sounds like an absolute sweety! I love it when cats do that, but I know what you mean about the claws. I always thought of it as them "petting" us. Penni (RIP) used to do this all the time at night when she was snuggling with me in bed. She was also a very demanding kitty when it came...

    five largest shorthair domestic cat breeds?

    I thought with Bengals it depended a lot on what breeds were used in the breeding program. Anyway, I have two related bengals (aunt and nephew). They're both just over 18 months old - Lily is what I call average at about 10 or 11 lbs. Rajah is BIG at about 16 lbs. He's still very lean too...

    Kitty Acne still not going away

    What kind of water dish do you have? My dear Penni (RIP) had acne on her chin, but not so severe that we went to the extent you have to resolve it. However, I was overjoyed when we got the cats their Drinkwell fountain - the acne almost immediately cleared up!!!! I attributed it to the fact...

    Stool Finally Firming Up

    Question - how do you feed the pumpkin? I do need to get my "kids" stools tested - perhaps they have a parasite problem. However, they are bengals and they do tend to have senstive tummies so their stinky soft stools may just be due to that. They're due for their 6 month checkups so I'll have...

    Feline Greenies cat treats

    I don't think the cat treats every had plastics. They are a treat vs. a chew, which is what the dog ones are. Big difference.

    Anyone know about workplace time clocking?

    Oops - I meant 7.5 hours as I was assuming a 30 minute lunch. So, technically, you're getting paid for full time which is usually 8 hours per day but you work 7. You say your day is 9-5, which = 8 hours, but you have a 1 hour lunch, so 8 - 1 = 7. EVERY place I've ever worked, the work day was...

    Anyone know about workplace time clocking?

    Are you being paid as a full time employee? If so, and the hours you post are what you really work, wow - consider yourself lucky. Mot places don't give a 6.5 hour workday to full time workers, which is what it sounds like you have. Lucky.... That asside, I doubt what they're doing is...
